Painting Description
"Blind Girl" is an oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1856. This poignant work is renowned for its rich detail, vibrant color, and profound emotional impact, exemplifying Millais' mastery of technique and his deep humanistic concerns. The painting depicts two itinerant sisters, one of whom is blind, resting by the roadside during their travels. The blind girl is shown with a concertina, suggesting that the pair might earn a living through street performance.
Millais' portrayal of the blind girl is particularly striking for its realism and sensitivity. Her sightless eyes are turned towards the sky, which is filled with a double rainbow—an element of the painting that is often interpreted as a symbol of hope and divine grace, contrasting with the girl's personal experience of darkness. The inclusion of the rainbow also serves to highlight Millais' skill in rendering natural phenomena with scientific accuracy, a characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's approach to art.
The painting is also notable for its attention to detail and texture, seen in the meticulous rendering of the natural environment, the girls' clothing, and the concertina. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful composition, directs the viewer's attention to the central figure and her serene yet melancholic expression.
"Blind Girl" is considered one of Millais' most important works and is often discussed in the context of Victorian social concerns, including the plight of the disadvantaged and the role of women in society. The painting is held in the collection of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in Birmingham, England, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and cultural significance.
