{"product_id":"49240-pre-raphaelites","title":"Pre-Raphaelites. Basic Art","description":"Founded in 1848 as a secret society , the Pre-Raphaelites rejected classical ideals and the dominant artistic genre painting of their era for what they saw as a more spiritual, sincere, and naturalistic approach. Founded by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti , they evolved into a seven-member “brotherhood” that included poets and critics as well as painters. Moving away from the classical compositions exemplified by Raphael (hence the group’s name), the Pre-Raphaelites rather turned to medieval culture and the jewel-like colors of Quattrocento art for inspiration. Their principal themes were initially religious, but also included subjects from literature and poetry , as exemplified by Sir John Everett Millais’s famous Ophelia , drawn from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, they were also committed to the close study of nature. This book presents key works from the Pre-Raphaelite group to introduce their reactionary principles, their dazzling colors, their interest in love, death, and nature , and their extensive influence on latter-day Symbolism and beyond.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458141937877,"sku":"9783836519656","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish","offer_id":53458141970645,"sku":"9783836506120","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/427eac357f9333d5661270e34f357e5d.png?v=1773906844","url":"https:\/\/weavingtheplanet.com\/en\/products\/49240-pre-raphaelites","provider":"Weaving The Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
