Flowing to the River

When he was in his forties, Millais started to paint pure landscapes, developing the ‘impressionist’ manner of Constable and Turner into a distinct personal idiom. His landscapes differ in style and content to his earlier Pre-Raphaelite work, being atmospheric and poetic rather than narrative. 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’.
