The brainchild of Hunt, Millais and Rossetti, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was born in 1848.
She married William Morris, one of the main pre-Raphaelite artists, but later became Rossetti's lover.
Stylistically, his early Pre-Raphaelite works are less cohesive than Hunt's or Rossetti's because he could do so much so well.
The show illustrates that while early members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were bound together by their philosophy, each remained stylistically distinct.
For a young group of painters later to achieve fame as the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, the summer of love came in 1857.

It was in that summer Dante Gabriel Rossetti met his muse, Jane Morris, who was Jane Burden at the time, and who came to embody the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of beauty.
Or head to the Museo del Vidrio y Cristal (Museum of Glass and Crystal) to see an extraordinary private collection of antique furniture, priceless carpets, pre-Raphaelite stained-glass windows and vast 16th-century ancestral portraits.
These and other works exemplify the expressive qualities of Pre-Raphaelite art brought to their zenith in Burne-Jones's Arthurian paintings and tapestries: the dreamlike sense of dim recollections viewed behind closed eyes, of erotic yearning conveyed through powerful silence.
All the more so in the 1970s, when meteorology was a less exact science, bus-shelters ran no digitalised information, no one had mobile phones to explain what they were doing or where they were going or when they might be expected, and pre-Raphaelite hair, beards, flares, maxi-skirts and platform shoes turned any encounter with the elements (as any attempt to descend at speed from the upper deck) into serious drama, if not trauma.
