"The Black Brunswicker" is a renowned oil painting by the British artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1860. The work is a historical genre painting that captures a poignant moment of parting between a soldier and his lover. It is set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, specifically referencing the Brunswick soldiers known for their distinctive black uniforms, who were allied with the British against Napoleon's forces.

The painting depicts a young couple in a dramatic and emotionally charged farewell. The soldier, dressed in the black uniform of the Brunswick corps, is poised to leave for battle, while his lover, a young woman in a white dress, clings to him in a desperate embrace. The contrast between the soldier's dark military attire and the woman's light, flowing garment heightens the emotional intensity of the scene. The interior setting, with its richly detailed furnishings and the open door suggesting the imminent departure, adds to the narrative tension.

Millais, a prominent member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his use of vibrant colors. "The Black Brunswicker" exemplifies these characteristics, with its fine brushwork and the use of symbolism to enhance the storytelling. The painting's romantic and tragic theme resonated with Victorian audiences, reflecting the era's fascination with chivalry, duty, and the personal sacrifices of war.

"The Black Brunswicker" has been widely admired for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of human emotion. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Millais and a significant example of Pre-Raphaelite art. The painting is held in a private collection, but it has been exhibited in various art institutions and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the context of Millais's broader body of work and the cultural history of the period.
