The purpose of this essay is to examine the reception of Pre-Raphaelite art from a Swedish point of view. It is based on comparative and reception-historical analysis and aims to deter-mine how the reception, perception, and views of the Pre-Raphaelites has changed over time. The essay explores how the authors discuss the realism of the Pre-Raphaelites, whether the authors consider the Pre-Raphaelite imagery reactionary or innovative, and the authors' views on the art-historical significance of the Pre-Raphaelites. It examines how Pre-Raphaelite art was described and received by Swedish art historians during the 19th and 20th centuries and the reception of the 2009 Pre-Raphaelite exhibition held at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Stockholm. This was the first exhibition dedicated exclusively to the pre-Raphaelites in Sweden. The purpose of the exhibition was to introduce pre-Raphaelite art to the Northern European audience and included around 200 works of art, such as paintings, textiles, and photography.
