Isabella by John Everett Millais |
|
|
|
This very accomplished picture
was painted when the artist was only twenty years of age, and
the models for the various figures include the artist’s
father, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and the painters rather
disreputable friend Jack Harris appropriately kicking the dog.
Worthy of note are the rather flat niave perspective, the
sheer virtuosity of the painting, and the initials PRB on the
back leg of Isabella’s chair. |
