A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Sir John Millais, or to treat at any length the facts of his private life. Such matters are better left to the biographers who deal with the man and desire to draw a portrait of him as he lived. What is offered here is an appreciation of his influence upon the art of his time, an estimate of the value of his intervention, as an artist, in the aesthetic movements that marked the years over which his career extended. Therefore only those personal details have been included which are important because they have some bearing upon his, professional progress, or have helped to confirm him in a preference for a particular line of action. In the case of Sir John Millais this separation of the artist from the man is the easier, because, admirable and sincere though he was in his devotion to his profession, he did not make it his sole interest; but, outside his studio, threw himself into the occupations and amusements that are dear to every man of robust vitality, and are expressive of physical inclinations rather than intellectual gifts. Our concern is with him as a worker, as one of the greatest painters that theB ritish School has known ;and it is only incidentally necessary to refer to his domestic affairs when they happen to explain significantly how far his private pursuits aided in keeping up the splendid virility of his art.
