6、约翰•米莱 (1829-1896)
米莱是拉斐尔前派的创始人之一。
米莱的作品总是赢得赞扬,他精湛的技巧使他的声誉如日中天。在他老年时期,拉斐尔前派的美术衰落,他就改作肖像画,他也是当时著名的插画家。
比之罗塞蒂,米莱的作品文学性稍逊,但有一种世俗的温暖。
The Crown of Love 爱之冕

梅瑞狄斯(George Meredith)的这首诗完美的诠释了这幅画:
O might I load my arms with thee,
Like that young lover of Romance
Who loved and gained so gloriously
The fair Princess of France!
Because he dared to love so high,
He, bearing her dear weight, shall speed
To where the mountain touched on sky:
So the proud king decreed.
Unhalting he must bear her on,
Nor pause a space to gather breath,
And on the height she will be won;
And she was won in death!
