Answer:
sir john everett millais , 1st baronet , pra -lrb- ; 8 june 1829 -- 13 august 1896 -rrb- was an english painter and illustrator who was one of the founders of the pre-raphaelite brotherhood .a child prodigy , at the age of eleven millais became the youngest student to enter the royal academy schools .the pre-raphaelite brotherhood was founded at his parents ' house in london .millais became the most famous exponent of the style , his painting '' christ in the house of his parents '' -lrb- 1850 -rrb- generating considerable controversy .by the late 1850s millais was moving away from the pre-raphaelite style .his later works were enormously successful , making millais one of the wealthiest artists of his day .however , they have typically been viewed by 20th-century critics as failures .this view has changed in recent decades , as his later works have come to be seen in the context of wider changes in the art world .millais ' personal life has also played a significant role in his reputation .his wife effie was formerly married to the critic john ruskin , who had supported millais ' early work .the annulment of the marriage and her marriage to millais have sometimes been linked to his change of style .
