"Peace Concluded, 1856" is a significant oil painting by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an influential group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. The painting, measuring 112.4 cm × 142.2 cm, is part of the collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. It was created in the aftermath of the Crimean War, a pivotal conflict in European history, and reflects the contemporary public sentiment towards the war and its resolution.

The artwork depicts a domestic scene rich in symbolism and emotional depth, showcasing Millais' mastery in combining realism with a profound narrative. The central figure, a British officer, is shown wounded but alive, surrounded by his family, indicating the personal impact of war and the relief of its end. The officer's leg is bandaged, and he leans on a crutch, suggesting his return from the war has been both a physical and emotional journey. His family's expressions range from relief to contemplation, capturing the complex emotions associated with the return of a loved one from war.

In the background, Millais includes references to the Treaty of Paris (1856), which concluded the Crimean War, and a portrait of Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, the British Prime Minister at the time, further anchoring the painting in its historical context. The inclusion of a dead tiger and a Russian bear rug under the officer's feet symbolizes the victory over Russia and the end of the conflict.

"Peace Concluded" is notable for its detailed execution, historical relevance, and emotional resonance. It reflects Millais' transition from the highly detailed, medieval-inspired compositions of his early Pre-Raphaelite works to a more mature style that incorporates elements of realism and social commentary. The painting is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the fragile joy of peace, themes that remain relevant in contemporary discourse. Through "Peace Concluded," Millais offers a nuanced exploration of the impact of war on individuals and families, making a significant contribution to the genre of historical painting.
