"Sir John Everett Millais" by A. L. Baldry is a biography written in the early 20th century, reflecting on the life and work of one of the most prominent artists of the Victorian era. The book delves into the influences, achievements, and artistic evolution of Millais, emphasizing the impact of his role in the formation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and his later contributions to the art world. This biography explores Millais' early life, showcasing his prodigious talent from a young age and his swift rise within artistic circles, including his eventual role as a Royal Academician. It details the formation and principles of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, highlighting the group's commitment to naturalism and vivid imagery, as seen in Millais' notable works such as "Ophelia" and "Christ in the House of His Parents." As the narrative progresses, Baldry discusses Millais' evolving artistic style, transitioning from the meticulous detail of his early work to a more impressionistic and expressive approach in his later years. The book concludes with a reflection on his legacy and the recognition he attained before his untimely death, cementing his status as a transformative figure in British art.
