Famous and controversial for paintings as diverse as Ophelia and Bubbles, Sir John Everett Millais (1829–96) revolutionised the Victorian art world by co-founding the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, eventually becoming president of the Royal Academy. His son, John Guille Millais (1865–1931), published this highly illustrated two-volume biography in 1899.
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, Velázquez 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.
