DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The long and stellar career of John Everett Millais (1829-1896) has been framed in terms of his rise to notoriety as an original member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood followed by a compromising descent into comfortable success as a popular painter and leading figure in the Royal Academy. But this dismissal of Millais’s post-Raphaelite work overlooks more than forty years of artistic endeavor and distinction. In this book, nine scholars reexamine Millais’s entire career from a variety of perspectives, arriving at a new vision of his place in the history of British art and finding that fame and recognition did not represent the end of this important Victorian artist’s development.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →John Everett Millais (1829-1896) is undoubtedly among the most important of Victorian artists. In his day, and our own, he remains also the most controversial. While, during his lifetime, controversy centred around his early Pre-Raphaelite paintings, in particular Christ in the house of his Parents (1850), during the twentieth century the most intense criticism has been directed towards Millais's later works, such as Bubbles (1886), which has been widely condemned as sentimental 'kitsch'. These later paintings have been held up as the epitome of the degradation of art, against which avant-garde and Modernist pioneers struggled. None of the existing literature on Millais addresses the fundamental problem that this double-identity reveals. While there is extensive material on the Pre-Raphaelite movement in general, Millais's own work after the 1850s is rarely discussed in detail, despite the fact that he lived and worked for another 30 years after his abandonment of the Pre-Raphaelite style. Time Present and Time Past: The Art of John Everett Millais presents the first comprehensive account of Millais's artistic career from beginning to end. The book considers the question of 'high' and 'low' cultural status in debates during Millais's own day, and in subsequent critical thinking, situating Millais's art as a whole within this cultural framework.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from John Everett Millais, 1829-1896 How, then, do the great men of the art Of the mid-nineteenth century, with their thoroughness, their adherence to sound principles, their stead fast faith in their work stand to-day? The Victorian era, by the unthinking and ignorant, is dismissed with a sneer, a shrug of the shoulders, an expres sion of contempt to those who possess the comparative faculty, who are not carried away by the nervous excitability of our day, the case is other wise. They recognize that the men of that time understood the great basic principles of the art they expounded, whether it was literature, painting, or sculpture; they realized the necessity Of sound craftsmanship in their work and were not ashamed to exercise it; even when at times, the craftsman overshadowed the artist, it was but the exaggerated expression of the desire that their work should be Of their best. Dickens, Thackeray, Tennyson, Millais, Leighton, burne-jones, stand as representatives of their genera tion; a generation which cannot be obscured, which cannot be dismissed with a cheap epigram.
