EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal scene from Sir Walter Scott's renowned novel, "Peveril of the Peak". Created by the young prodigy John Everett Millais at the tender age of 11 or 12, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image depicts a Roundhead Conventicle during the English Civil War in the 17th century. Inside a dimly lit church, swords and pikes are scattered around as soldiers gather to listen intently to their preacher. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and fervor as muskets lean against walls, ready for action if needed. Millais masterfully portrays each character's emotions through their expressions and body language. The preacher stands tall in the pulpit, delivering an impassioned sermon that captivates his audience. Soldiers clad in roundhead attire stand shoulder-to-shoulder, their eyes fixed on him with unwavering devotion. The artist's use of pencil, watercolor, and oil on paper adds depth and texture to this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon it today in awe-inspiring clarity thanks to eChristies Images' photography skills, we are transported back in time to witness this historic moment firsthand. This extraordinary artwork not only serves as a testament to Millais' precocious talent but also offers us a glimpse into one of history's most tumultuous periods—the English Civil War—where religious beliefs clashed fiercely amidst political turmoil.
