Millais was born in Southampton, the son of John William Millais, a wealthy

gentleman from an old Jersey family. His mother's family were prosperous
saddlers. Considered a child prodigy, he came to London in 1838. He was
sent to Sass's Art School, and won a silver medal at the Society of Arts at the
age of nine. In 1840 he was admitted to the Royal Academy Schools as their
youngest ever student, winning a silver medal in 1843 for drawing from the
antique, and a gold medal in 1847 for his painting The Tribe of Benjamin
Seizing the Daughters of Shiloh. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in
1846, with Pizarro Seizing the Inca of Peru (Victoria and Albert Museum,
London).

At the Royal Academy he became friendly with fellow student William Holman
Hunt, and contributed with Hunt and Dante Gabriel Rossetti to the
Cyclographic Society. In 1848 the three helped form the Pre-
Raphaelite Brotherhood. His first Pre-Raphaelite painting was Isabella (1848-
9, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool), which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in
1849. His entry for the following year, Christ in the House of His Parents ('The
Carpenter's Shop') (1849-50, Tate Gallery N03584), was received
unfavourably.

In 1855 he married Effie Chalmers, Ruskin's former wife, with whom he had
fallen in love while he was holidaying with the Ruskins in Scotland. The couple
settled in Perth, where he painted Autumn Leaves (1855-6, City of Manchester
Art Galleries).
