John Everett Millais was a member of a group of artists known at the Pre-Raphaelites. They often used subjects from literature and poetry, particularly those dealing with love and death. When he was in his forties, Millais’s work began to move away from narrative, focusing more on atmosphere. This landscape scene is an example of this. Millais’s friend and fellow painter, William Blake Richmond, wrote ‘Even in his landscapes I think I can always detect a kind of human sentiment pervading, a mood of Nature akin to a human mood which prompted them’.
