Details

Sir John Everett Millais was an English painter and illustrator. Millais (pronounced Mih-lay) was born in Southampton, England in 1829, of a prominent Jersey-based family. His prodigious artistic talent won him a place at the Royal Academy schools at the still unprecedented age of eleven.

Millais achieved popular success with “A Huguenot” (1852), which depicts a young couple about to be separated because of religious conflicts. He repeated this theme in many later works. Millais was also very successful as a book illustrator, notably for the works of Anthony Trollope and the poems of Tennyson.
