About John Everett Millais
John Everett Millais was one of the greatest English illustrators and painters of the 19th century. He was best known as one of the founding members of the famous artistic style, “Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.”
Background & Early Life
He was very bright during his childhood. At age eleven, he earned a place at the “Royal Academy School” making him the youngest student to enroll in the institution.
Career & Major Works
In 1849, his work on the “Christ in the House of His Parents” paintings garnered huge attraction and several controversies, making him the most famous figure of the “Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood.” In 1851, he produced “Ophelia,” a picture that served as an embodiment of the history of his artistic movement. He also created the famous “A Huguenot” painting in 1851.
Between 1881 and 1882, he was the president of the “Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.”
By the late 1850s, he had become distant from his “Pre-Raphaelite” style and had begun to develop some realism and uniqueness in his art. His later works saw great success, making him a wealthy artist at the time. Famous among these are “the Boyhood of Raleigh” and “The Two Princes Edward and Richard in the Tower.”
