"King Lear and Cordelia" is a painting by Sir John Everett Millais, an English painter and illustrator who was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The artwork is a representation of a scene from William Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear," showcasing the poignant moment when the aged and beleaguered King Lear is reunited with his devoted daughter Cordelia. This painting is one of several works by Millais that draw inspiration from literary sources, reflecting the artist's interest in narrative and the emotional depth of his subjects.

Millais's depiction of Lear and Cordelia is notable for its emotional intensity and the detailed rendering characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The movement, which began in 1848, was known for its rejection of the mechanistic approach to art that was characteristic of the Mannerist period that followed Raphael and Michelangelo. Instead, the Pre-Raphaelites sought a return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

In "King Lear and Cordelia," Millais captures the tender moment of reconciliation and forgiveness, as Cordelia tends to her father who has suffered from madness and the betrayal of his other daughters. The painting is imbued with the pathos of the scene, emphasizing the themes of loyalty, redemption, and the human capacity for suffering and endurance.

Millais's work is held in high regard for its technical skill and its ability to convey profound human emotions. His paintings are considered significant contributions to the canon of British art, and "King Lear and Cordelia" exemplifies his mastery in translating dramatic literary scenes to canvas. The painting is a testament to Millais's artistic legacy and his dedication to exploring the complexities of human relationships and the power of visual storytelling.
