윌리엄 마이클 로세티가 정의한 라파엘 전파의 초기 강령은 아래 네 가지 선언에 담겼다. to have genuine ideas to express; 표현을 위한 진심 어린 생각을 가질 것 to study Nature attentively, so as to know how to express them; 자연을 어떻게 표현해야 되는지 알기 위해 자연을 신경써서 배울 것 to sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parading and learned by rote; and 이전의 예술에서 관습적이고 자기과시적이며 주입식의 것들을 제외하고 직접적이고 진지하고 진심어린 것과 교감할 것; 그리고 most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues.
The brotherhood's early doctrines, as defined by William Michael Rossetti, were expressed in four declarations: to have genuine ideas to express; to study Nature attentively, so as to know how to express them; to sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parading and learned by rote; and most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues.WikiMatrix WikiMatrix
