EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a study for "The Boyhood of Raleigh" by John Everett Millais, painted in 1870. In this oil on canvas masterpiece, we see a shy and huddled young boy, exuding an air of innocence and timidity. The artist skillfully portrays the essence of this timid child who would later become a renowned writer, courtier, poet, navigator, and explorer. Sir Walter Raleigh's boyhood is beautifully depicted through the eyes of Millais. The portrait reveals the coy nature of the young Raleigh as he embarks on his journey towards greatness. This image evokes a sense of curiosity about what lies ahead for this promising individual. The painting not only showcases the vulnerability and innocence inherent in childhood but also hints at the potential that lies within each child to achieve remarkable feats. It serves as a reminder that even those who start off timid can grow into influential figures who leave their mark on history. As we gaze upon this stunning artwork captured in photographic form by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the power held within literature and poetry - tools that can shape minds and inspire generations. This image invites us to reflect on our own childhoods while appreciating the profound impact writers have had throughout history.
