Peter Funnell begins the book by describing Millais's astonishing popularity and the artist's public persona, examining his practice as a portraitist and assessing the view common among later critics that Millais's mature work failed to fulfill his youthful promise. Leonée Ormond examines Millais's early portraits, from his precocious boyhood sketches to his magnificent portrait of Ruskin (1853-54) and his paintings of Ruskin's wife, Effie, who famously left her husband to marry Millais. Malcolm Warner interprets Millais's portraits of children--including the elegiac painting Autumn Leaves (1855-56) and the melancholy Nina Lehmann (1869)--as reflections of Millais's nostalgic ideas about the naturalness, innocence, and beauty of childhood. H. C. G. Matthew assesses Millais's portraits of men of power, which include paintings of four Prime Ministers (Gladstone, Disraeli, Salisbury, and Rosebery). Kate Flint discusses Millais's portraits of women, which ranged from likenesses of family and friends to glamorous paintings of the rich, aristocratic, and beautiful. Each essay is followed by its own thematic catalogue of portraits.
The elegantly written essays and stunning reproductions are supplemented by Warner's extensive documentation about individual works of art, drawings from Millais's sketchbooks, and photographs of the artist in his studio. In its words and images, in its scholarship and its accessibility to the general reader, this is an exceptional book about one of the most influential artists of the nineteenth century.
