À propos du tableau
This portrait of Edward Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl Lytton (1831-91), statesman and poet, was commissioned by John Forster, who is best known as Charles Dickens's biographer. It was to be a reminder of his friend, who was about to set sail to India to take up the appointment of Viceroy. Sadly, Forster died before he saw the portrait. It is life-size and outstanding for the directness of the subject's outward-looking gaze. When it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1876, the Art Journal considered it to be one of the 'notable portraits of the year'. Millais was the most celebrated portrait painter in Britain at the time that he painted it.
