"A Huguenot, on St. Bartholomew's Day Refusing to Shield Himself from Danger by Wearing the Roman Catholic Badge" is a painting by Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1852. This work is one of Millais' most celebrated pieces and exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's style, of which he was a founding member. The painting is imbued with historical narrative, focusing on the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, where French Catholics targeted Huguenots (French Calvinist Protestants) in a wave of violent attacks. The artwork captures a poignant moment between a young Huguenot couple, where the man, despite the pleas of his beloved, refuses to wear a white armband that would identify him as a Catholic and thus spare him from persecution and possible death.

Millais' painting is renowned for its rich detail, emotional depth, and vibrant color palette, which enhance the dramatic intensity of the scene. The artist's meticulous attention to historical accuracy in costume and setting, alongside the expressive portrayal of the figures, heightens the impact of the narrative. "A Huguenot" not only reflects Millais' mastery of painting techniques but also his engagement with themes of love, faith, and sacrifice. The work remains a significant example of Victorian art and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural relevance.
