Influenced by romanticism, they believe that freedom and personal responsibility are inseparable. However, they are particularly fascinated by medieval culture, believing that medieval culture has integrity and creativity that later generations have lost. Later, the emphasis on medieval culture clashed with the realism that emphasized independent observation of the natural state. Originally, Raphael thought that the two could cooperate, but after the conflict, the painting school was divided into two schools, the realism school headed by Hunt and Millay, and the medieval school headed by Rossetti, william morris and other followers. However, the conflict is not complete. Both factions believe that the essence of art is spiritual and oppose Courbet's materialist realism and impressionism.
In order to revive the brilliant color style of15th century art, Hunt and Millay developed a painting method, which covered the wet white surface with a thin layer of transparent pigment to keep the color as transparent and clear as a gem. This vivid emphasis is to contrast with the early British painters who used asphalt excessively. Asphalt will produce turbid and unstable black blocks, which are despised by pre-Raphael school.
