occasionally departs from established facts in favour of dramatic licence and is prefaced by the disclaimer: "In the mid-19th century, a group of young men challenged the art establishment of the day. The pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were inspired by the real world around them, yet took imaginative licence in their art. This story, based on their lives and loves, follows in that inventive spirit."[4] Ken Russell's 1967 film Dante's Inferno concentrates on the life of Rossetti, with brief scenes on the other leading Pre-Raphaelites.
