HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS!
Perhaps one of the best and most recognized painters of the nineteenth century, John Everett Millais (1829-1896) was a Pre-Raphaelite portrait, genre, and narrative/historical painter and illustrator. Here, we have eight of his portraits – many of them late works:
- Portrait of Kate Perugini (daughter of Charles Dickens) – (1880) [Sotheby’s/private]
- Portrait of a Girl [Sophy Gray] – (1857) [Leicester Galleries]
- Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield – (1881) [NPG]
- Louise Jane Jopling – (1879) [NPG]
- A Jersey Lily [Lillie Langtry] – (1878) [Jersey Heritage]
- William Ewart Gladstone – (1879) [NPG]
- John Ruskin – (1853-4) [Ashmolean]
- Portrait of Mary Endicott (Mrs Joseph Chamberlain) – (1889?) [Birmingham Art Galleries]
- Miss Anne Ryan – (date unknown) [Tate]
- Miss Eveleen Tennant – (1874) [Tate]
