holman-hunt, rossetti, and millais are famous for their gang, the pre-raphaelite brotherhood. besides disturbing the peace with their paintings of green trees (brown was the fashionable color for trees at the time), the brotherhood drew each other all the time. holman-hunt drew millais and rossetti (above). rossetti drew these great cartoon of millais and holman-hunt (below).
