Stunning Sisters: Models of the Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a secret society of painters in the mid 19th century that formed as a rebellion against the "dark and unimaginative" mainstream artists of the time. But we don't care about them. In this episode, we will talk about the women who truly made this artistic movement possible, The Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood. These "stunners" (aka models) rose from low social classes into something like stardoms through their work with the Pre-Raphaelite painters. Some started their own businesses or launched painting careers of their own. They were friends, colleagues, and competitors to one another, and all were fascinating women in their own right. P.S. the really long named painting that Sabrina botched should be “A Converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druids.
