We are delighted to welcome Stella Grace Lyons, Arts Society accredited Art History Lecturer for this month’s talk about the Pre-Raphaelite artists. Were the Pre-Raphaelites the first ‘modern’ British artists? They looked back to the past and yet their work was incredibly forward thinking. The avant-garde group of Royal Academy students rebelled against everything they had been taught: rejecting Raphael and instead turning to early Renaissance and Flemish art for inspiration.
