History
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in 1848. William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner made up the seven man brotherhood. Although the Brotherhood's main endeavour was painting, poetry and the critiquing of art was also a pursuit of its members.
The Brotherhood started to display their work in 1849, signing their artworks 'PRB'. They also published a literary magazine titled 'The Germ', which was published with the intent of further distributing their ideas.
In 1850, the Brotherhood experienced a wave of critical backlash after a painting by John Everett Millais, 'Christ in the House of His Parents' was deemed as ugly and downright blasphemous by numerous reviewers. Famous author Charles Dickens infamously thought that the painting made the family of Jesus Christ appear to be alcoholics and posing in an absurd way.
