Pre-Raphaelite
a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an association of British painters and writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828--82), Holman Hunt (1827--1910), and Sir John Everett Millais (1829--96), founded in 1848 to combat the shallow conventionalism of academic painting and revive the fidelity to nature and the vivid realistic colour that they considered typical of Italian painting before Raphael (1483--1520)
