The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood emerged in 1848 as a reaction against the constraints of contemporary academic art during a time of rapid industrialization in Britain. This group sought inspiration from medieval, Renaissance, and Romantic sources, including the works of Victorian poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. Their shared affinity for medieval themes offered a counterpoint to the era's modern challenges, drawing on elements of romance, chivalry, and religious faith, while Tennyson's poetry explored Arthurian legends and Shakespearean drama amidst growing skepticism towards traditional beliefs.
