Poets with tag Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood:

Pre-Raphaelite style was heavily Medievalist and Romanticist, emphasising abundant detail, intense colours and complex compositions; it greatly impressed Morris and the Set.

The group's intention was to reform art by rejecting what it considered the mechanistic approach first adopted by Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. Its members believed the Classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on the academic teaching of art, hence the name "Pre-Raphaelite". In particular, the group objected to the influence of Sir Joshua Reynolds, founder of the English Royal Academy of Arts.

As an aspiring poet, Rossetti wished to develop the links between Romantic poetry and art.

The brotherhood's early doctrines were expressed in four declarations:

to have genuine ideas to express

to study nature attentively, so as to know how to express them

to sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parodying and learned by rote

most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues
