"The Boyhood of Raleigh" is a notable oil painting by the eminent Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1870. This work of art captures a romanticized portrayal of the early life of Sir Walter Raleigh, a famed English explorer, soldier, and writer of the Elizabethan era. The painting depicts a young Raleigh and his brother sitting on the sands of Budleigh Salterton in Devon, listening intently to the stories of a seafarer. This sailor, presumed to be recounting tales of the New World, is thought to have inspired Raleigh's later maritime adventures.

Millais' composition is rich in detail and symbolism, reflecting the Victorian fascination with childhood innocence and the spirit of exploration that characterized the age. The painting's setting, with the expansive sea stretching into the horizon, serves as a metaphor for the boundless opportunities and discoveries that lay ahead for the young Raleigh. The artist's use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to the textures of the natural surroundings enhances the sense of wonder and aspiration embodied in the scene.

"The Boyhood of Raleigh" was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and quickly became one of Millais' most popular works. It is celebrated for its narrative quality and its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia for Britain's maritime heritage. The painting remains an important example of Millais' later work, showcasing his departure from the strict principles of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood towards a more personal and evocative style. It is held in a public collection and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
