EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "My Second Sermon, 1864" captures a tender moment in the life of Effie Millais, daughter of renowned artist John Everett Millais. Painted in 1947, this portrait depicts young Effie peacefully asleep during a church service. The location is believed to be All Saints Church at Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey. Effie's slumbering form is beautifully captured by her father's artistic skill. Dressed in Victorian-era clothing and seated on a pew with a hassock beneath her feet, she appears tired but content. Her delicate features and serene expression highlight the innocence of childhood. This painting serves as a companion piece to an earlier work that portrays Effie looking somewhat apprehensive during her first sermon experience. Together, these paintings offer glimpses into the religious upbringing and social history of Britain during the 19th century. John Everett Millais was part of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood artistic school and his attention to detail shines through in this oil painting. The colors are rich and vibrant, showcasing his mastery of technique. Displayed at the Guildhall Art Gallery in London, "My Second Sermon" invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, family dynamics, and the passage of time. It stands as a testament not only to Millais' talent but also to his love for his daughter Effie and their shared experiences within their community.
