EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "Parable of the Tares, 1865" by John Everett Millais, we are transported to a scene that is both serene and thought-provoking. The painting depicts an elderly farmer standing amidst a field of vibrant green plants, his bare feet firmly planted on the earth. With his weathered face and wise eyes, he exudes a sense of experience and resilience. As we delve deeper into the artwork, our attention is drawn to the intricate details Millais has masterfully included. Amongst the lush foliage lies a tangle of weeds and thorny vines, symbolizing the challenges and obstacles that exist in life. However, it is not just these natural elements that catch our eye - nestled within them lurks a slithering snake, representing deceit or evil intentions. The Parable of the Tares itself tells us about good and evil coexisting in society; how sometimes it becomes difficult to distinguish between them until they fully manifest themselves. Through his artistic style influenced by Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood principles, Millais skillfully captures this moral lesson with precision. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect upon our own lives - do we nurture goodness or allow ourselves to be entangled in negativity? It serves as a reminder that even amidst beauty and tranquility, darkness can persist if left unchecked. Displayed at Birmingham Museum Art Gallery as part of their esteemed collection from British heritage art history, this oil painting continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message.
