The '''Pre-Raphaelites''' (''Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood,'' ''PRB'') was a Victorian-era group, which started originally as an art movement and grew to include poets and writers. The paintings of the Pre-Raphaelites often featured an extremely high degree of realism (would now be called photorealism); religious and mythical themes; and pictures that explicitly told a story, or a part of a story.

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.
