 Victorian-age England approached medievalism through several stages, beginning with romanticism in the 18th century and followed by the Gothic Revival (renewed interest in medieval architecture) and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood . The  Pre-Raphaelite’s insisted on utilizing art techniques from the middle ages. 
John Everett Millain- Ophelia (1852)


Edmund Blair Leighton- Godspeed (1900)
 The Gothic revival was very popular, as evinced by the grand spectacle that is the house of Parliament.
