Sir John Everett Millais, 1st Baronet (1829–1896), was a pivotal figure in the history of British art, renowned for his role as a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This artistic movement, established in 1848 alongside Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt, sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art, rejecting the academic standards of the time. Millais' early works, characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and vibrant palette, exemplify the Pre-Raphaelite ethos. His painting "Ophelia" (1851–1852), depicting the tragic Shakespearean character, remains one of the most celebrated and iconic images of the 19th century.

As Millais' career progressed, his style evolved, reflecting a broader range of influences and a shift towards a more naturalistic approach. This transition is evident in works such as "The Boyhood of Raleigh" (1870) and "Bubbles" (1886), which demonstrate his ability to capture the subtleties of human expression and the nuances of light and texture. Millais' later works, while sometimes criticized for their perceived commercialism, nonetheless secured his reputation as one of the leading artists of his time.

In addition to his achievements in painting, Millais was a successful illustrator and a prominent figure in the Victorian art world. He was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts in 1863 and served as its president from 1896 until his death. His contributions to the arts were recognized with a baronetcy in 1885, making him the first artist to be honored in this way.

Millais' legacy endures through his extensive body of work, which continues to be celebrated for its technical brilliance, emotional depth, and innovative spirit. His influence can be seen in the subsequent generations of artists who drew inspiration from his commitment to realism and his ability to convey the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
