"Pre-Raphaelite: Capturing the Beauty and Symbolism of the Divine" The Pre-Raphaelite movement, which emerged in the mid-19th century, sought to revive the artistic spirit of medieval times. Artists like William Holman Hunt embraced this vision with his masterpiece "The Light of the World. " Painted between 1851 and 1853, it depicts Jesus as the radiant Light of the World, illuminating a darkened door. Another prominent Pre-Raphaelite artist was Edward Burne-Jones, whose work "Adam & Eve" explores biblical themes. Inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost, this painting portrays Adam delving into earth while Eve spins thread. It symbolizes their fall from grace and humanity's struggle for redemption. In Arthurian legend-inspired works like "The Attainment, " Sir Galahad, Sir Bors, and Sir Percival embark on a quest for the Holy Grail. The painting captures their awe-inspiring moment when they finally lay eyes upon this sacred relic. A captivating fresco titled "Choosing the Red and White Roses in the Temple Garden" showcases an allegorical scene painted by Evelyn De Morgan in 1910. It represents spiritual choices faced by individuals within a temple garden setting – red roses symbolizing earthly desires while white roses represent purity and virtue. William John Wainwright's creation called "Parable Of The Wise And Foolish Virgins" brings forth a moral lesson through vivid imagery. This piece illustrates five wise virgins who prepared themselves with oil lamps versus five foolish ones who neglected their duty – reminding viewers to be vigilant in their spiritual lives. John Everett Millais' paintings also made significant contributions to Pre-Raphaelitism. In "My First Sermon, " he portrays a young girl engrossed in her first religious experience—a poignant reflection on innocence and faith that resonates deeply with viewers.
