John Everett Millais was a renowned British artist who lived from 1829 to 1896. He is widely recognized for his exceptional talent and contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an influential art movement in the Victorian era. One of his notable works is "My First Sermon, " painted in 1863. This masterpiece depicts a young girl listening intently to her first sermon, capturing the innocence and curiosity of youth. In a similar vein, "My Second Sermon" (1864) showcases another child engrossed in religious contemplation. Millais also portrayed prominent figures of his time, such as John Ruskin, a leading art critic and philosopher. His portrait of Ruskin completed between 1853-1854 reveals Millais' skill in capturing intricate details and conveying personality through brushstrokes. The artist's versatility shines through various subjects he explored throughout his career. For instance, "Sir Isumbras at the Ford" (1857) portrays an Arthurian legend with vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail. On the other hand, "Autumn Leaves" (1856) captures a group of young women amidst falling leaves, symbolizing transience and change. In addition to these captivating pieces, Millais created artworks inspired by literature like Anthony Trollope's novel Framley Parsonage ("Scene from Framley Parsonage, " 1860). This painting brings fictional characters to life with its rich storytelling quality. "The Blind Girl" (1856), one of Millais' most celebrated works, depicts a blind beggar girl accompanied by her sister. The emotional depth conveyed through their expressions evokes empathy from viewers. Another remarkable creation is "Ophelia" (1851-2), based on Shakespeare's play Hamlet. This iconic piece showcases Millais' mastery over nature as he meticulously renders every leaf floating on water while portraying Ophelia's tragic demise. Millais' artistic prowess extended beyond paintings.
