Millais
As a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, John Everett Millais (1829-1896) spearheaded one of the most radically modern artistic groups in the history of British art. Later in his career, Millais was considered an establishment figure who swapped artistic innovation for commercial gain. For the first time, this book allows us to see Millais in the context of his whole career, arguing that his late works, especially his landscapes, are as dramatic in their freshness of vision as those of his Pre-Raphaelite period. He is revealed as a complex artist with significant links to Manet, Whistler, and Sargent; and one who helped to spark a renewed interest in British eighteenth-century art. .

John Everett Millais: A Biography
Among the notorious Victorian artists who called themselves Pre-Raphaelites, the most renowned was John Everett Millais. A fascinating, wonderfully diverse individual, he knew nearly "everybody who was anybody." Well-honored by his peers, he was, for forty years, Britain's most popular artist. The350 paintings he produced displayed their creator's remarkable versatility: Millais was a master of historical, mythological, Biblical, and literary subjects as well as landscapes and portraits. Astonishingly, there has been no full-length biography of Millais for a hundred years, so much of G.H. Fleming's material has never before appeared in a book. This vivid, authoritative portrait is a long-overdue contribution to art history. G.H. Fleming, an authority on the Victorian period, is the author of nine books, including Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Young Whistler, and Whistler: A Life. .

Millais's Collected Illustrations
Collected from his work for Trollope, Tennyson, Collins, and the weekly periodicals over most of his long working life, these prints range from visionary romance to comedy of manners Together they represent some of the finest black and white work of the Victorian era. Sir John Everett Millais's Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with six other painters revolutionized the art world with a visionary intensity of both subject matter and style. Although Millais soon abandoned the Pre-Raphaelite style—with an increasingly broad use of paint, and an interest in aestheticism, portraiture, and stirring national historical subjects—he remained the preeminent painter of his period. Not least among his achievements was a revival of serious black and white work. His drawings were widely published and became very influential, leading to the creation of a distinct and greatly respected English school of printmaking. This book shows the wide range of his work. .
