The Pre-Raphaelites were a secret society of artists founded in London in 1848. The group was made up of poets, designers, sculptors and painters who turned to nature for inspiration. Rebelling against the accepted art produced at the time in the style of Raphael, they sought out a new way to make art, and a new way to perceive their world around them.
