"The Tribe of Benjamin Seizing the Daughters of Shiloh" is a significant painting by the renowned British artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1847. Millais, a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color, which are both evident in this work. The painting draws its subject matter from a dramatic episode in the Old Testament, specifically from the Book of Judges (Judges 21:19-23), where the tribe of Benjamin, having been nearly annihilated in a civil war, is instructed to seize the daughters of Shiloh during a festival to take them as wives and thus ensure the survival of their tribe.

Millais' interpretation of this biblical narrative is both dynamic and poignant, capturing the tension and desperation of the moment. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the emotional intensity of the scene. The figures are rendered with a high degree of realism, a hallmark of the Pre-Raphaelite style, which sought to return to the detailed and vibrant techniques of early Renaissance art, rejecting the more formulaic approaches that had dominated the art world in the preceding centuries.

The painting also reflects Millais' interest in historical and literary themes, a common trait among the Pre-Raphaelites, who often drew inspiration from a wide range of sources, including mythology, literature, and history. "The Tribe of Benjamin Seizing the Daughters of Shiloh" is a testament to Millais' skill as a storyteller through visual art, as he effectively conveys the narrative's complexity and emotional depth.

Today, this painting is considered an important work within Millais' oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century British art. It exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite commitment to realism, intricate detail, and the revival of historical and literary subjects in contemporary art.
