Description
This is a reproduction of “Peace Concluded” of 1856 by John Everett Millais. He was thirty-seven years old when he created this work. The scene shows a wounded officer reading in the London times of peace being concluded in the Crimean War. His wife was modeled by Millais’ wife Effie Gray and the painting was received with mixed reviews. It was stoutly defended by Effie’s former husband, the art critic John Ruskin. The Artist was a child prodigy and entered the Royal Academy Schools at the age of eleven in 1840. While in the schools he met William Hunt and Dante Rossetti with whom he founded the Brotherhood in 1848 at the age of nineteen. His Christ in the House of his Parents drew him controversial attention within two years and English Art circle were divided in their opinions regarding the new movement. He married the recently divorced wife of an art critic who defended the movement and this drew more controversy to the young Millais. In his later career he began to draw away from the Pre-Raphaelite style and approached more closely the manner of Joshua Reynolds and Velazquez. He entered the royal Academy of Arts in 1853 and in 1885 he was created a baronet by Queen Victoria. He died in 1896. This painting is an oil on canvas and measures 46 by 36 inches. It is in the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts.
