"The Order of Release, 1746" is a significant historical painting by Sir John Everett Millais, an English painter and illustrator who was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Created in 1852-1853, the work is a vivid depiction of a scene from the aftermath of the Jacobite Rising of 1745, which aimed to restore the House of Stuart to the British throne.

The painting portrays the moment when a Scottish Highlander, who has been imprisoned by the English, is released to his wife after she has obtained his order of release. The central figure is the Highlander's wife, who is shown holding their child and the order of release, while her exhausted husband leans on her for support. A sympathetic English soldier looks on, and a young girl, possibly their daughter or a sympathetic onlooker, clutches at the woman's skirt. The work is lauded for its emotional depth and the detailed rendering of the characters' expressions, which convey a narrative of loyalty, family, and the human cost of war.

Millais's painting is notable for its historical accuracy in costume and setting, as well as its engagement with contemporary social and political themes. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his use of vibrant colors are characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's aesthetic principles, which sought to reject the formulaic approach of Mannerism in favor of a return to the detail, composition, and complexity of earlier Renaissance art.

"The Order of Release, 1746" quickly gained acclaim and helped to solidify Millais's reputation as a leading artist of his time. The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and was well received by critics and the public alike. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Millais and is held in the collection of the Tate Britain in London. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance, technical mastery, and poignant storytelling.
