- Course objectives
- The activities of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (P.R.B.) will be analyzed within the course. The brotherhood established in London in the year 1848 became one of the most influential movementents of the 19th century. The interess for this artistic movement, closely connected with the period aestheticism, increased rapidly for the last decades. One of the reasons for this fact ist a "postmodern" ability of the contemporary public to perceive and appreciate a striking, effective painting with numerous literary connotations, which had a reform programme at the same time, expressed through the rejection of academism and the return to "primitives" of the quttrocentro (before Raphael). The activities of the P.R.B. will be examined in an arthistorical and a broader cultural context, the question of the influence of the P.R.B. in the Czech lands will be examined as well.
