The Pre-Raphaelites (Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, PRB) were a Victorian-era group of artists which later grew to include poets and writers. The paintings of the Pre-Raphaelites often featured an extremely high degree of realism (what would now be called "photorealism"); religious and mythical themes; and pictures that seem to tell a story, or a part of a story (with titles that often confirm that interpretation).
Famous Pre-Raphaelite artists included William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and Edward Burne-Jones. William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts movement, and art critic John Ruskin were loosely associated with the group.
