John Everett Millais

Sir John Everett Millais (1829 – 1896) was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. His most illustrative paintings in the style include Christ in the House of His Parents and Ophelia

After the mid-1850s, Millais moved away from the Pre-Raphaelite style and his works incorporated a new form of realism. His later works were enormously successful, making him one of the wealthiest artists of his day
