"Benjamites Seizing Their Brides" is a painting by the British artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1860. This work is part of Millais's exploration of historical and biblical themes, which he often depicted with dramatic intensity and rich detail. The painting illustrates a scene from the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible, where the tribe of Benjamin, having been decimated in a civil war and left with few women, is advised to abduct brides from the neighboring tribe of Shiloh during an annual festival.

Millais was a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. The Brotherhood sought to reform art by rejecting what it considered the mechanistic approach to art that had come to dominate European painting with the advent of Mannerism. Instead, they looked to the rich detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Italian art before Raphael. While "Benjamites Seizing Their Brides" was painted after Millais's departure from the strictest Pre-Raphaelite principles, it still reflects the influence of the movement through its vivid portrayal of the narrative and meticulous attention to detail.

The painting is notable for its dynamic composition and the way it captures the tumultuous energy of the scene. Millais's use of color and light emphasizes the drama, while his rendering of the figures reflects a careful study of human emotion and physical movement. The work is a testament to Millais's skill as a historical painter and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of immediacy and power.

"Benjamites Seizing Their Brides" is part of Millais's body of work that helped define the visual language of the Victorian era and contributed to the broader European tradition of historical painting. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Millais's oeuvre and the cultural context of the period in which it was created.
