Brotherhood Everett Illustrator Millais Painter Raphaelite
EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir John Everett Millais PRA: A Visionary Raphaelite Artist of the Late Victorian Era This portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Sir John Everett Millais PRA (1829-1896), an influential English painter and illustrator of the Victorian era. Millais was a leading member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a revolutionary artistic movement that sought to revive the purity and intensity of art inspired by the works of Raphael and the early Italian masters. Born in Southampton, Millais showed an early aptitude for art, and his talent was nurtured under the tutelage of Henry Sass and William Holman Hunt. In 1850, he exhibited his first major work, "The Knight Errant," at the Royal Academy, marking the beginning of a prolific career that spanned over four decades. Millais was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable accuracy. His paintings often depicted scenes from literature, mythology, and everyday life, imbued with a sense of romance and emotion that resonated with Victorian audiences. As an illustrator, Millais collaborated with renowned poets and authors, including Alfred Lord Tennyson and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, producing stunning visual interpretations of their works. His most famous illustrations include the series for Tennyson's "Idyls of the King" and Rossetti's "The House of Life." In 1880, Millais was knighted by Queen Victoria for his services to art. This portrait, taken during the height of his career, captures the intensity and visionary spirit of a man who left an indelible mark on the artistic landscape of the Victorian era. Millais' influence can still be felt in the works of contemporary artists who continue to be inspired by his unwavering commitment to artistic excellence and innovation.
