| John Everett Millais (1829–1896) | ||||||||||
| An English painter and illustrator, Millais studied at the Royal Academy Schools from the age of eleven, winning all the academy prizes, and at seventeen exhibited his first picture. As a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, he was drawn to imagination and symbolism, but by the 1850s he had developed a more individual style. His later works are notable for their technical excellence. By 1863, he had become more academic, adopting a broader style and choosing subjects that appealed to popular taste. Millais produced many book illustrations during this period, though this work is generally considered to be of lesser quality. By 1870, he began painting landscapes, and he also executed many portraits during this time. He was elected President of the Royal Academy in 1896. Millais died in London. | ||||||||||
