Reprinted for the first time since 1889, this is the first
biography and considered appraisal of one of England's most
prodigiously talented painters. Sir John Everett Millais, P. R. A.
(1829-1896) was the most precociously talented artist England has
ever produced. His astonishing facility gained him entry as the
Royal Academy's youngest ever pupil. At just 19 he founded with six
other painters the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which revolutionized
the English art world with a visionary intensity of both subject
matter and style. Millais was its most creative member; as Jason
Rosenfeld says in the introduction to this volume, "the sheer
quality and distinctness of each of Millais's paintings of the
1850s is unmatched by any Western artist of the period." Yet there
is much more to Millais' career than Pre-Raphaelitism. Some of the
most emotive narrative paintings of the Victorian era, its greatest
portraits, and especially some of its most beautiful, if neglected,
landscapes, came from his brush--as did some of its most
notoriously successful paintings, like "Bubbles," the "fancy
picture" that was made into an advertisement for Pears' Soap. This
volume includes not only Millais's only published work of art
criticism, the pithy "Thoughts on Our Art of Today," but also the
first extended biography and appraisal of his work by the important
critic M. H. Spielmann. This hugely engaging "Sketch "gives both a
warm and personal picture of the man and a level-headed evaluation
of the qualities--and defects--of his work as they appeared to
contemporaries. Neither essay has been in print for more than a
century.

CHAPTER III. LOVERS' PENITENCE IN MERRY ENGLAND. Lady Car Ewe was
in no haste to reach the cottages. They were not her only object.
She led the way through the flower- garden, and gathered the
violets, and lingered over the hyacinths while they were sparkling
with dew; and she described the Fawsley gardens in which Margaret
was to take her delight. There was no trace of displeasure in her
manner, and Henrietta was relieved and softened. When they had
passed out upon the cliff, they sauntered in the morning sun, and
dazzled their eyes with the glitter on the sea. When they had
reached a recess, carpeted with grass, Lady Carewe proposed to sit
awhile, and see the boats go out from the beach below. " Now my
child," said she, " I wish you would open your heart to me as if I
were your mother. You are as a daughter to me; and you always will
be; and I wish to know of every care which troubles your mind." "
Oh Aunt Indeed I cannot speak of that," replied Henrietta. " To you
of all persons I can least say what I feel." " I hope to prove to
you that that is a mistake, my love. I do not ask what trouble has
come between you and Harry, because I know it." " I was sure he and
you were consulting together last night," Henrietta said. " We
were. My son has told me all. He sees where he was wrong. I see
where you were both wrong; and I trust to seeand 1 you both right
when you begin to discover how great a thing your mutual love is;
how much too great a thing to be made the sport of passion?-" "
Passion, Aunt " " Yes, passion in you, exciting passion in him.
What but passion could make young creatures like you forget your
