专有名词proper noun
- 1(art) A group of English painters, poets, and critics formed in 1848, led by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, and William Holman Hunt, who rejected the academic art of the Royal Academy to create more sincere, detailed, and morally serious art; they looked for inspiration to Italian art before Raphael, valuing its naturalism, vibrant colors, and symbolism.
