"Lear and Cordelia" is a poignant painting by the eminent Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1898. This work is a testament to Millais' profound ability to capture the emotional depth and dramatic intensity of literary subjects, a hallmark of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which he co-founded. The painting draws its inspiration from William Shakespeare's tragic play "King Lear," specifically the heartrending reunion between the aged King Lear and his loyal daughter Cordelia in Act IV, Scene VII.

In this evocative composition, Millais masterfully portrays the tender and sorrowful moment when Cordelia, having returned with an army to rescue her father, finds him in a state of madness and despair. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his use of rich, vibrant colors bring the scene to life, emphasizing the emotional gravity of the narrative. Lear, depicted as a frail and broken old man, is shown with a look of bewilderment and sorrow, while Cordelia's expression is one of deep compassion and filial devotion.

Millais' choice to focus on this intimate moment underscores the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the enduring bond between parent and child, central to Shakespeare's play. The painting is also notable for its historical and cultural context, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with Shakespearean drama and the broader 19th-century revival of interest in his works.

"Lear and Cordelia" stands as a significant example of Millais' later work, showcasing his continued evolution as an artist and his enduring commitment to the principles of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The painting remains a celebrated piece within Millais' oeuvre, admired for its emotional resonance and technical brilliance.
