In the summer of 1848, three young artists formed the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and turned the art world on its head. Since then, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt have been a source of fascination for scholars and students alike, and the women who inspired their most famous works have also become legendary (particularly Elizabeth Siddal who was the model for Millais' haunting depiction of Ophelia ).
