Sir John Everett Millais

Sir John Everett Millais was a leading figure of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and one of Victorian Britain’s most celebrated artists. A prodigious talent, he entered the Royal Academy Schools at just eleven and became renowned for his richly detailed, emotionally charged paintings. Over his career, Millais evolved from the meticulous Pre-Raphaelite style to a broader, more painterly approach, achieving great success and prestige, including election as President of the Royal Academy. His works are held in major museums worldwide, including Tate Britain and the National Gallery.
