With Alice Foster, art historian

Can there be anything else to say about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood?  Answer:  yes, always.

They were fearless during a time of predictable artistic preference in Britain;  they were pioneers of new painting techniques not taught in traditional art schools and they were inspired by the colours and clear narrative of medieval art.
