"The Enemy Sowing Tares" is a painting by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. The painting, created in 1865, is a striking example of Millais' meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to the Pre-Raphaelite principles of vivid color, complex compositions, and themes drawn from literature, religion, and nature.

The title of the painting references a biblical parable from the Gospel of Matthew (13:24-30), where Jesus tells the story of a man who sows good seed in his field, only to have an enemy come by night and sow tares (weeds) among the wheat. This parable is often interpreted as an allegory for the coexistence of good and evil in the world and the ultimate judgment that will separate the righteous from the wicked.

In "The Enemy Sowing Tares," Millais captures the moment of the enemy's deceitful act. The painting is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which heightens the sense of secrecy and malevolence. The figure of the enemy is rendered with a sinister expression and furtive posture, emphasizing the clandestine nature of his actions. The surrounding landscape is depicted with Millais' characteristic precision, showcasing his skill in rendering natural elements with lifelike accuracy.

Millais' work on this painting reflects his deep engagement with religious themes and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. "The Enemy Sowing Tares" stands as a testament to Millais' artistic prowess and his contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to revive the detail, color, and complexity of early Renaissance art. The painting remains an important piece in the study of 19th-century British art and continues to be admired for its technical excellence and thematic depth.
