{"product_id":"9782765911173","title":"John Everett Millais: 80 Drawings","description":"\u003cp\u003eSir John Everett Millais (1829-1896) was an English artist, one of the founders of Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He entered the Royal Academy Schools at the age of eleven in 1840, where he met William Holman Hunt (1827-1910). Reacting against the traditional painting practices of such artists as Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), Millais favoured a more realist approach evidenced in works. This attention to detail met with a great deal of criticism, however, and it was only with the critical support of John Ruskin (1819-1900) that public opinion began to change. Adhering to the Pre-Raphaelite creed, Millais painted the landscape backgrounds of such celebrated paintings as 'Ophelia' and 'The Blind Girl' out of doors rather than in the studio. Millais also produced illustrations for a number of literary texts. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1863. By the late 1860s, Millais had become an extremely popular artist. He was created a baronet in 1885 and elected President of the Royal Academy in 1896 a few months before his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osmora Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157967552752,"sku":"9782765911173","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782765911173_p0.jpg?v=1763701918","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782765911173","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
