Answer
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded at 83 Gower Street, London, on 7 September 1848. The original members were Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, and John Everett Millais. The group's goal was to reject the prevailing artistic style of the day, which they saw as overly sentimental and academic. They instead wanted to create art that was more realistic and true to nature.
