New Mini-Course: John Everette Millais

John Everett Millais's art is today considered by much of the art establishment to be stuffy and conservative, however, during his time, Millais was an avant-garde artist who challenged the conventions of the art establishment.
Millais was one of Art History's most innovative story-tellers. He started a movement, the Pre-Raphaelite movement, that brought to life the poignancy and drama of Romantic literature. He not only focused on scenes of intense drama, but also sought to convey genuine emotion and depth. The moments he depicted were inspired by Keats, Tennyson, and Italian Opera, but the "actors" and "settings" were drawn from the careful observations he made from the people and places he knew. He wanted to make grandeur more sincere.
