In the life of John Everett Millais

The whole life

  1. 3 July 1855

    Married: Effie Gray

  2. 1855–1857

    After his marriage he changes manner: faster and dearer

    Marriage changed Millais: to support his growing family he began to paint more quickly and in greater quantity and to sell his pictures dearly, moving away from Pre-Raphaelite principles. Effie became a powerful promoter of his work, and together they secured commissions and widened their circle; he gained great popularity and a fortune (up to £30,000 a year), while William Morris and other critics accused him of selling out.

  3. 30 May 1856

    Son born: Sir Everett Millais, 2nd Baronet

  4. 1857

    Ruskin calls “Sir Isumbras” a catastrophe

    Ruskin called Sir Isumbras (1857), in which Millais had departed sharply from Pre-Raphaelite technique, not even a failure but a catastrophe.

  5. 19 September 1857

    Son born: George Gray Millais

  6. 28 November 1858

    Daughter born: Effie Gray Millais
