In 1848 seven young Englishmen formed an artistic alliance aspiring to rebel against the contemporary Victorian art world. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood defied idealized figures popularized by Raphael and other High Renaissance artists to reflect the simplicity, spirituality, and beauty they found in late medieval and early Renaissance art.  This is the first major exhibition to juxtapose examples by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with works that inspired its members, including stained glass, domestic decorations, and sixteenth-century textiles.

The Radcliffe Club of San Francisco invites members of the Harvard Club of San Francisco to a private docent tour at the Legion of Honor Museum.

Following the tour, you are invited to join the group for coffee/lunch at the museum cafe.  Coffee and lunch will begin at approxmately 11:00am.  Afterwards, you may re-visit the exhibits on your own.
