Millais
Millais at Tate Britain is the first major monographic survey of his art since the Royal Academy retrospective of 1967, and the first exhibition since 1898 to examine the entirety of the artist鈥檚 career.

Traditionally, Millais has been presented as an establishment figure who swapped artistic innovation for commercial gain. This exhibition attempts a re-assessment by allowing us to see Millais in the context of his entire career, from his beginnings as the youngest ever pupil at the Royal Academy to his late landscapes.
Millais is at Tate Britain until January 13.
