# John Everett Millais

> He painted one of Victorian England's most scandalous pictures at twenty, co-founded a movement that tried to undo centuries of art tradition, then spent the second half of his career getting rich — which his old allies read as betrayal.

## Bio

Millais entered the Royal Academy Schools at eleven, the youngest student in its history. In 1848, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded at his family home on Gower Street, and he became its star: Christ in the House of His Parents stirred fierce controversy in 1849–50, and Ophelia in 1851–52 became the movement's defining image. By the mid-1850s he had begun drifting from Pre-Raphaelite rigor toward a looser realism that made him wealthy and famous — and led former admirers like William Morris to accuse him of selling out, especially after he lent a painting to a soap advertisement. His personal life tangled with his reputation: he married Effie, formerly the wife of critic John Ruskin, whose marriage had been annulled; she became a shrewd promoter of his work. Early twentieth-century critics dismissed his later paintings, but recent decades have repositioned them as part of broader shifts in late Victorian art.
