EDITORS COMMENTS
John Everett Millais' Saint Agnes of Intercession, created in 1850, is a captivating etching on cream laid paper that showcases the artistic brilliance of the Pre-Raphaelite movement in Britain during the nineteenth century. The image depicts Saint Agnes, the virgin and martyr of Rome, seated in an artist's studio. Dressed in a flowing white robe, she is surrounded by four figures: an older woman, two young women, and a young man, possibly Saint Celadon or Saint Longinus, who are traditionally depicted in the Saint Agnes legend. Millais masterfully captures the ethereal and otherworldly quality of the saint, with her delicate features and serene expression. The black and white contrast of the etching adds to the sense of timelessness and spirituality. The artist's studio setting, with its easel and various art supplies, underscores the connection between art and religion, as well as the role of the artist as a spiritual intermediary. This etching, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Millais' artistic skill and his commitment to the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic. The image invites us to contemplate the role of faith and spirituality in art and life, while also showcasing the beauty and intricacy of the artistic process.
