selves to the accurate depiction of nature, the PRB brought a freshness
and drama to its work through the copious use of color. Further
enhancing their work was a technique they used which involved apply-
ing the colored paint on top of wet white paint previously applied to
their canvasses. The effect was to make the colors even brighter and
more dramatic. Even today, more than 150 years later, PRB paintings
have a luminescence beyond those of other works from the same time
period. It is believed that their paintings have this quality today
because the white layer underneath the colored paint continues to add
brightness and life to the painting.
Originally founded by three upstart young men, the PRB had a
tremendous influence on an entire generation of artists. William Mor-
ris, Ford Maddox Brown, and Edward Burne-Jones are just a few of
the significant artists of the time whose work was dramatically influ-
enced by the PRB.
