British artists who formed a confraternity in 1848 to declare their rejection of academic conventions in the name of expressive naturalism. The exhibition organised by MAR, in co-operation with the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford where it will move in September, explores the relationship between the Pre-Raphaelites and the "Italian Dream" in literature, art, history and landscape, with a selection of 170 paintings, engravings and preparatory cartoons for mosaics.
