	Sir John Everett Millais - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS (1829-1896), English painter, was born at Southampton on the 8th of June 1829, the son of John William Millais, who belonged to an old Norman family settled in Jersey for many generations, and Emily Mary, nee Evamy, the widow of a Mr Hodgkinson.
		In 1855 Millais exhibited "The Rescue," a scene from a fire, which drew great attention, from the frantic expression of the mother and the brilliant painting of the glare.
		Millais was one of the greatest painters of his time, and did more than any other to infuse a new and healthy life into British art.

		White (a dealer) for £150; but, as a fact, Millais received £250 for it, which was paid to him in instalments, and in course of time the buyer gave him £50 more, because he had profited much by the sale of the engraving.
		The women in "Ophelia" and "The Huguenot" were essentially characteristic of Millais' Art, showing his ideal of womankind as gentle, lovable creatures; and, whatever Art critics may say to the contrary, this aim- the portrayal of woman at her best-is one distinctly of our own national school.
