Painting Description
"Lorenzo and Isabella" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1849. The work is significant as it marks Millais's early foray into the Pre-Raphaelite style, a movement that sought to reject the academic standards of the time by returning to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. The painting is based on the tragic narrative from John Keats's poem "Isabella, or the Pot of Basil," which itself was adapted from the Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio.
The painting depicts a scene from the early part of the story, where the wealthy merchant Lorenzo and his love, Isabella, are interrupted during a meal by Isabella's brothers. Unbeknownst to the couple, her brothers are plotting Lorenzo's murder due to their disapproval of the match. Millais's composition is dense with symbolism and meticulous detail, characteristics that would come to define the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which he co-founded with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt.
In "Lorenzo and Isabella," Millais uses vivid colors and intricate patterns to create a tense and foreboding atmosphere, reflecting the impending doom of the couple's relationship. The painting is also notable for its portrayal of Victorian social themes, such as the conflict between love and social class. Millais's work was met with mixed reviews upon its debut, with some critics praising its innovative approach and others condemning its departure from traditional techniques.
The painting is now considered an important work in Millais's oeuvre and a key example of Pre-Raphaelite art. It is held in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its role in the development of nineteenth-century British art.
