A prodigiously talented artist, Sir John Everett Millais (1829 96)
co-founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with Rossetti and others,
helping to revolutionise the Victorian art world. The minute
realism of paintings like Christ in the House of His Parents, and
his high-profile marriage to Ruskin's ex-wife Effie, were gradually
accepted, and the iconic Ophelia was widely admired. Success as an
illustrator also put him in the public eye, with the engravings
market bringing him new wealth. With popularity came a return to
more traditional forms in portraiture and landscape, inspired by
Reynolds, Vel zquez and the Old Masters, although he also played
off Whistler and the aesthetic movement. He became president of the
Royal Academy in the last year of his life. His son, John Guille
Millais (1865 1931), published this highly illustrated and
acclaimed two-volume biography in 1899. Volume 2 applauds the
freedom and breadth of treatment in Millais' later work.
