The document summarizes the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB), an artistic group founded in 1848 in England by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, and John Everett Millais. The PRB rejected what they saw as the mechanistic approach taken by the Raphael School of painting in favor of a more naturalistic style influenced by Italian pre-Renaissance artists. The document discusses several of the PRB artists' paintings depicting women from Shakespeare's Hamlet and themes of isolation and fallen women.
