Frequently asked questions about Pre-Raphaelite art

A quick guide to the artists, periods and printing options that matter when you shop Pre-Raphaelite art online in Australia.

What is the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and when did it form?
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a secret society of seven young English painters and poets founded in London in 1848 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt. They rejected the formulaic academic painting of the post-Raphael Royal Academy and instead championed jewel-bright colour, painstaking botanical detail, medieval and Arthurian literary subjects, and an idealised view of nature drawn from poetry by Keats, Tennyson and Shakespeare. John William Waterhouse and Edward Burne-Jones continued the style into the 1890s. Browse the full Pre-Raphaelite prints collection.
Who are the most famous Pre-Raphaelite painters?
John William Waterhouse painted the most-collected Pre-Raphaelite images — The Lady of Shalott (Tate Britain), Ophelia, Hylas and the Nymphs and Echo and Narcissus. John Everett Millais painted Ophelia (Tate Britain) and Christ in the House of His Parents. Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted Proserpine, Lady Lilith and Beata Beatrix. Edward Burne-Jones produced the gold-infused The Golden Stairs and Love and the Pilgrim. William Holman Hunt painted The Light of the World and The Hireling Shepherd. All five masters appear in our Pre-Raphaelite range.
How do I display Pre-Raphaelite art in my home?
Pre-Raphaelite paintings are rich in saturated jewel tones — emerald greens, ruby reds, sapphire blues and gold leaf — so they pair beautifully with deep walls in forest green, navy, burgundy or charcoal. They suit Victorian, Federation and arts-and-crafts interiors, plus modern moody-luxe revival homes. Waterhouse’s Lady of Shalott and Ophelia work beautifully above a deep velvet sofa or claw-foot chaise. Rossetti’s redhead muses suit dressing rooms and feminine bedrooms. Use the room filter on the Pre-Raphaelite category to narrow your choice.
What sizes do Pre-Raphaelite prints come in?
Pre-Raphaelite compositions are dense with botanical and textile detail, so they reward larger sizes where the painstaking brushwork can be appreciated. Waterhouse’s Lady of Shalott and Millais’s Ophelia look exceptional at 100 x 70 cm and above. Rossetti’s portraits of Jane Morris and Elizabeth Siddal work beautifully at mid-size (60-90 cm) above a dressing table or fireplace. Burne-Jones’ Golden Stairs and tall vertical compositions suit narrow wall slots between windows in heritage homes. Custom dimensions are available on request.
Stretched canvas, framed canvas or framed paper print for Pre-Raphaelite art?
Pre-Raphaelite originals were displayed in heavy gilt frames carved with Gothic detail, so framed canvas in a gold or dark walnut float frame is the most authentic substrate. Framed paper print with a wide cream or warm-grey mat replicates the museum-quality engravings the works were widely reproduced as in the 19th century. Stretched canvas (no frame) gives a more contemporary look that suits modern revival interiors. All three substrates use the same archival pigment inks for permanence and are available across every design in the Pre-Raphaelite catalogue.
Which Pre-Raphaelite paintings suit a bedroom?
Bedrooms reward the softer Pre-Raphaelite imagery. Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott, Ophelia and Echo and Narcissus carry quiet melancholy and feminine grace. Rossetti’s Proserpine, Lady Lilith and his portraits of Elizabeth Siddal and Jane Morris suit master bedrooms and dressing rooms with their flame-red hair and brocade textiles. Burne-Jones’ Golden Stairs and Love and the Pilgrim add gold-tinted serenity. Avoid the harsher Holman Hunt religious narratives in a bedroom — they are better suited to formal living rooms and libraries. Browse all Pre-Raphaelite prints.
Can Pre-Raphaelite art be ordered as multi-panel sets?
Some compositions adapt to multi-panel splits and others do not. Burne-Jones’ Golden Stairs (a tall narrow vertical composition with stacked figures) works well as a four-panel vertical split for stairwells. Rossetti’s Beata Beatrix and Waterhouse’s tall waterside compositions also adapt to three-panel verticals. However, single tightly-framed compositions like Waterhouse’s Lady of Shalott or Millais’s Ophelia are best kept as single statement pieces. Use the multi-panel filter on the Pre-Raphaelite category page or contact our team for a tailored quote.
How long will a Pre-Raphaelite canvas print last?
Archival pigment inks deliver 75-plus years of colour retention indoors out of direct sunlight, and our cotton-poly canvas resists yellowing for the full life of the print. Pre-Raphaelite art benefits from soft warm-toned lighting (2700K picture lights or wall sconces) which intensifies the jewel reds, greens and golds. Avoid harsh west-facing afternoon sun, which can fade saturated reds and blues over decades. Hang on an internal wall away from direct sunlight and dust quarterly with a clean microfibre cloth — the print will easily outlast most furniture in the room.
Do Pre-Raphaelite prints make a good gift?
Pre-Raphaelite art makes excellent gifts for English-literature graduates, Tennyson and Keats enthusiasts, romance writers and anyone who loves Arthurian and medieval themes. Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott is one of our most-gifted images for English-literature graduates and milestone birthdays. Rossetti portraits suit anniversary and engagement gifts. We include free gift wrap and a printed provenance card listing artist, date, current museum and the literary source the work draws from — leave a note at checkout with the recipient name and the occasion.
