1851Ruskin (title) Pre-Raphaelitism. 1853N. Brit. Rev. 303 Pre-Raphaelitism is in painting very much what the reform led by Wordsworth was in poetical literature. 1853Ruskin Lect. Archit. iv. §132 Pre-Raphaelitism has but one principle, that of absolute, uncompromising truth in all that it does, obtained by working everything, down to the most minute detail, from nature, and from nature only. 1858Edin. Rev. July 206 Pre-raphaelitism, both of the pen and brush, is a useful correction of a previous morbid tendency. 1882Ruskin Let. to Chesneau 20 Dec. (Ashley Libr. 1894), Pre-Raphaelism would properly express the method or manner of the painters who actually lived before Raphael—as ‘Raphaelism’ might generally be applied to the style of all his school, at every subsequent date. Pre-Raphaelitism is, it seems to me, the proper term to express the peculiar tenets of the sect you have been examining, who called itself ‘Pre-Raphaelite’; or, with still greater exclusiveness, ‘The Pre-Raphaelite Brethren’. 1974J. Christian Pre-Raphaelites in Oxford 5 In the history of Pre-Raphaelitism nowhere played a more important part than Oxford. 1978Bodl. Libr. Rec. X. 52 In view of Oxford's strong connections with Pre-Raphaelitism, it is doubly gratifying to be able to record that the Bodleian Library has proved a comparatively rich quarry. |
