Highlights
- Palace Gardens Terrace - The Pre-Raphaelites formed a secret brotherhood in 1848. Even though the name gives us a hint to art that existed before Raphael, it has nothing to do with Raphael himself. This secret society wanted to evoke the ideals which existed before the Renaissance. Same as impressionists, they opposed the standards of the Royal Academy and created their own style widely appreciated nowadays.
