"Lorenzo and Isabella" is a notable painting by the eminent Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1849. This work is a vivid illustration of a scene from John Keats's poem "Isabella, or the Pot of Basil," which itself is based on a story from Giovanni Boccaccio's "Decameron." The painting captures a poignant moment in the tragic love story of Isabella and Lorenzo, whose romance is thwarted by Isabella's brothers.

Millais, a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color, both of which are prominently displayed in "Lorenzo and Isabella." The painting depicts a dinner scene where Isabella's brothers, who disapprove of her love for Lorenzo, are plotting against him. The composition is rich with symbolic elements that foreshadow the impending tragedy. For instance, the salt cellar overturned by one of the brothers is a traditional omen of bad luck, and the blood orange being handed to Isabella by Lorenzo symbolizes the blood that will be shed.

The figures in the painting are rendered with striking realism, a hallmark of the Pre-Raphaelite style. Millais's use of bright, jewel-like colors and his attention to the intricate details of the setting and costumes reflect the Brotherhood's commitment to returning to the detailed and vibrant art of the early Renaissance. The emotional intensity of the scene is heightened by the expressions and body language of the characters, each of whom is portrayed with a distinct personality and role in the narrative.

"Lorenzo and Isabella" was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1849, where it garnered significant attention and established Millais as a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The painting is currently housed in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, where it continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and emotional depth. Through this work, Millais not only pays homage to literary sources but also showcases his exceptional skill in storytelling through visual art.
