Excerpt from John Everett Millais, 1829-1896
How, then, do the great men of the art Of the mid-nineteenth century, with their thoroughness, their adherence to sound principles, their stead fast faith in their work stand to-day? The Victorian era, by the unthinking and ignorant, is dismissed with a sneer, a shrug of the shoulders, an expres sion of contempt to those who possess the comparative faculty, who are not carried away by the nervous excitability of our day, the case is other wise. They recognize that the men of that time understood the great basic principles of the art they expounded, whether it was literature, painting, or sculpture; they realized the necessity Of sound craftsmanship in their work and were not ashamed to exercise it; even when at times, the craftsman overshadowed the artist, it was but the exaggerated expression of the desire that their work should be Of their best. Dickens, Thackeray, Tennyson, Millais, Leighton, burne-jones, stand as representatives of their genera tion; a generation which cannot be obscured, which cannot be dismissed with a cheap epigram.
