The Pre-Raphaelites - a group of artists who united in the late 1840s to consolidate and formalise their ideas on a new way to make art – have enjoyed a profound influence on art, both in the time of their life's work and during the present day. Some of the Pre-Raphaelite' most famous works include William Holman Hunt's ‘The Awakening Conscience’ and ‘Ophelia’ by Millais.
This collection features 3000 digitised images from Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery's Pre-Raphaelite collection, with major and more loosely associated artists from the movement all represented by works of art including sketches, paintings, engravings, tapestries, stained glass, ceramics and fine art objects.
