The group"s intention was to reform art by rejecting what they considered to be the mechanistic approach first adopted by the artists who succeeded the renaissance (late. 15th-early 16th century) raphael and michelangelo: they believed that the classical poses and elegant compositions of raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on art, hence the name: pre-raphaelite. In contrast, they anted to return to the abundant detail, intense colours and complex compositions of italian and flemish art. Chief doctrines: close attention to detail, pictorial modes of representation (painterly or decorative style) Poetry adapted to the modern world of photography and scientific observations. Wrote modern painters, a study on what beauty is and how it works.
