"The Proscribed Royalist, 1651" is a notable painting by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an artistic movement that sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Completed in 1853, this work exemplifies Millais' meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to historical accuracy, both hallmarks of the Pre-Raphaelite style.

The painting depicts a poignant scene set during the English Civil War, specifically in the year 1651. It portrays a Royalist fugitive, hiding in a hollow tree to escape the Parliamentarian forces. The Royalist is aided by a young woman who brings him sustenance, symbolizing loyalty and compassion amidst the turmoil of war. The setting is lush and verdant, with Millais' characteristic precision evident in the rendering of the foliage and the textures of the tree bark. This naturalistic backdrop not only enhances the realism of the scene but also contrasts with the tension and danger faced by the characters.

Millais' choice of subject reflects the Victorian fascination with historical themes and the romanticization of the past. The artist's ability to convey emotion through the expressions and body language of the figures adds a layer of narrative depth, inviting viewers to empathize with the characters' plight. The painting also subtly comments on themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the human cost of political conflict.

"The Proscribed Royalist, 1651" was well-received upon its exhibition, contributing to Millais' reputation as a leading artist of his time. It remains a significant work within his oeuvre, illustrating his technical skill and his ability to imbue historical scenes with emotional resonance. The painting is currently housed in the private collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber, a testament to its enduring appeal and historical importance.
