Descrizione

1851, Londra è in preda alla Rivoluzione Industriale. Ma tra i mattoni rossi e le colonne di fumo ci sono quattro giovani in cerca di emozioni forti: gli artisti William Hunt, John Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti e l’amico giornalista Fred Walters. Insieme passeranno alla storia come la Confraternita dei Preraffaeliti. Talentuosi, stravaganti e desiderosi di rompere gli schemi della pittura tradizionale, i quattro ragazzi si distinguono per originalità e anticonformismo, creando spesso scandalo. Tra amori tormentati, scandali, fallimenti e trionfi, questi pittori riusciranno a lasciare un segno indelebile nella storia dell'arte ottocentesca.

Episode 1

Some artists want lasting fame. Some want money. Others want sex. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood want all of it. These ambitious young men - the darkly handsome Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the brilliant and conflicted William Holman Hunt, and the preternaturally talented John Millais - are out to rock the art world with a style of painting that is, according to them, more true, real and heartfelt than anything seen for 300 years.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood continue their quest for credibility, celebrity and success.With the help of their new friend, journalist Fred Walters, they have caught the attention of the pre-eminent art critic of the day, John Ruskin, and they now have to persuade Ruskin to buy their work. The prodigious and impossibly talented John Millais sets about rustling up a masterpiece to show Ruskin. The work is Ophelia, and he chooses Lizzie Siddal to sit for it. Rossetti, who is convinced that he is nothing without Lizzie as his muse, is furious with Millais for taking her from under his nose.
