"Isabella" is an oil painting by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which was completed in 1849. The painting, also known as "Lorenzo and Isabella," is based on the poem "Isabella, or the Pot of Basil" by John Keats, which itself was adapted from a story in Giovanni Boccaccio's "Decameron." Millais' work is notable for its vivid detail, rich color, and complex composition, which are characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's style.

The painting depicts a scene from the early part of the poem, where the ill-fated lovers, Isabella and Lorenzo, are discovered by Isabella's brothers, who are disapproving of the relationship due to Lorenzo's lower social status. The tension in the scene is palpable, with the brothers' suspicion and Lorenzo's unease contrasting with Isabella's obliviousness as she cracks a nut. Millais included an array of symbolic elements in the artwork, such as the cracked nut, which foreshadows the tragic fate of the lovers, and the attentive dog, which reflects loyalty and the impending betrayal.

"Isabella" was Millais' first painting to be exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and it marked the public debut of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's approach to art. The painting's meticulous attention to detail and its rejection of the conventions of the time were both praised and criticized by contemporaries. Today, "Isabella" is recognized as a significant work in the canon of Pre-Raphaelite art and is appreciated for its technical skill and its role in the development of nineteenth-century British art.

The painting is part of the collection of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its beauty. "Isabella" remains a testament to Millais' mastery of the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic and his dedication to bringing literary subjects to life through his art.
