This critical report will employ an intersectional feminist approach in the analysis of Pre- Raphaelite artworks. I will focus specifically on three of the key painters within the Pre- Raphaelite Brotherhood, who began and heavily influenced the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and explore how they represent and treat women in their work. Within this introduction, I will provide a brief overview of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, its origins in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) and its founding artists, whose work I will be analysing. In terms of an intersectional feminist angle, I will outline the main critical methodologies that will shape my report, including the key contributors to this approach. Lastly, I will draw on the rich history of feminist art criticism, to justify the use of intersectional critique within the feminist art critical lens.
