The story of Mariana

Mariana (also called Mariana in the Moated Grange) is an 1851 oil-on-panel painting by Millais. It shows the solitary Mariana from Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, as retold in Tennyson's 1830 poem. It has been held by Tate Britain since 1999.

John Everett Millais

Sir John Everett Millais, 1st Baronet was an English painter and illustrator who was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He was a child prodigy who, aged eleven, became the youngest student to enter the Royal Academy Schools. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded at his family home in London, at 83 Gower Street. Millais became the most famous exponent of the style, his painting Christ in the House of His Parents (1849–50) generating considerable controversy, and he produced a picture that could serve as the embodiment of the historical and naturalist focus of the group, Ophelia, in 1851–1852.
