Sir John Everett Millais
Description
Millais showed a prodigious natural facility for drawing, his parents groomed him from an early age to become an artist and in 1838 he attended Henry Sass' Drawing School, after a brief period here he was accepted into the Royal Academy in 1840, becoming it's youngest ever student.
He won a silver medal at the Royal Academy in 1843 for his drawing from the Antique, but made his debut at the Royal Academy exhibition in 1846 with the accomplished though conventional history painting Pizarro Seizing the Inca of Peru (London, V&A) and won a gold medal in 1847 for the Tribe of Benjamin Seizing the Daughters of Shiloh (priv. col., sale cat., London, Sotheby's, 21 Nov 1973, lot 44), a composition with struggling nudes in the manner of William Etty.
Whilst still training he and two other students, Rossetti and Hunt became disappointed with the teaching at the Royal Academy and the style of High Victorian art which prevailed at the Academy so together they founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 in their efforts to promote a new type of art that was less reliant on classicism and idealism. The name of the movement refers to their artistic influences coming from art made before the Renaissance artist Raphael (1483-1520), namely medieval art. The movement was in reality only a loose formation, which did not last more than a few years.
Millais' works never failed to elicit praise. His remarkable technique lent his canvases a unique distinction, particuarly in his last paintings, long after the exhilaration of the radiant Pre-Raphaelite period had died away. Towards the end of his life, he turned to portraiture. He was also a fine illustrator.
Millais died in London on 13 August 1896.
