Pre-Raphealites exhibition in Tate Britain is one of our museum visit task. Normally, i am not very interesting in the painting in Victorian period. I have no idea about Pre-Raphealites brotherhood before i went to the exhibition. But i fall in love with John Everett Millais's painting immediately.
His painting are so narrative and lively. People in the painting have their own characters and the stories were well presented.
I was not only impressive by the skills of Pre-Raphealites brotherhood but also the avant idea of using nature views and normal story as their objects. They brought us a new area of paintings then we can appreciate painting out of religion concept.
Due to the admire of John Everett Millais's paintings i bought a book from Tate Britain. The pictures of this posts are all scan from the book.
| The Blind Girl 1854-6 Oil on Canvas Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery. Presented by Rt Hon William Kendrick, 1892 This is a breathtaking painting by John Everett Millais. Colour of the painting are so warm and made me feel i was in the picture and lying on grass with these two girl. |

| A Huguenot, on St Bartholomew's Day, Refusing to Shield himself from Danger by wearing the Roman Catholic Badge 1851-2 Oil on canvas The Makins Collection
Another point which inspired me a lot is the fashionable colour combination in these paintings. I was wondering if John come to 21th century. He must be a successful fashion designer.
