The Pre-Raphaelites aka the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in 1948 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner. The group of them intended to reform art by rejecting the mechanistic approach that was adopted by Mannerist artists. They believed that the academic teaching of art had been corrupted by Raphael.
