''The Black Brunswicker'' is a renowned oil painting by Sir John Everett Millais, an eminent British artist and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Completed in 1860, this artwork is notable for its romantic and historical themes, as well as its meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The painting depicts a dramatic and poignant moment of farewell between a soldier and his lover.

The soldier, dressed in the uniform of the Brunswick Black Brunswickers, is portrayed at the moment of leaving for battle. This unit was known for its distinctive black uniform and its role in the Napoleonic Wars, particularly in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The woman, presumably his lover, clings to him in a desperate embrace, her expression conveying a mix of fear, sorrow, and love. The interior setting contrasts with the glimpse of the street scene visible through the open door, where other soldiers are seen departing, underscoring the painting's theme of love and duty.

Millais' work is characterized by its rich color palette and the interplay of light and shadow, which heightens the emotional intensity of the scene. The artist's attention to historical accuracy in the costumes and setting, along with his ability to capture the human emotion, makes ''The Black Brunswicker'' a compelling narrative painting. It is a fine example of Millais' mature style, which combined the Pre-Raphaelite focus on realism and detail with a more classical composition and storytelling.

Today, ''The Black Brunswicker'' is held in a public collection and continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of love set against the backdrop of war. It remains an important work within Millais' oeuvre and a significant piece in the study of 19th-century British art.
