EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor print by John Everett Millais that transports viewers to the Victorian era. Measuring 14x17.8 cm, this artwork can be found at The McManus in Dundee, UK as part of the Orchar Collection. In this scene, we witness a clandestine rendezvous between two lovers on a balcony. Bathed in soft light and surrounded by lush greenery, their secret tryst seems idyllic and romantic. However, their stolen moment takes an unexpected turn when an intruder interrupts their intimate encounter. Millais masterfully captures the emotions of all three characters involved - the man and woman frozen in shock and surprise while the intruder stands with a mix of curiosity and perhaps even jealousy. The tension created by this discovery adds depth to the narrative unfolding before us. As typical of Pre-Raphaelite art, every detail is meticulously rendered; from the intricate patterns on clothing to the delicate expressions on each face. Through his brushstrokes, Millais invites us into this private world where love meets danger. This painting serves as both a visual feast for admirers of Victorian aesthetics and an intriguing story about human relationships. It reminds us that even behind closed doors or hidden balconies, secrets have a way of being uncovered – sometimes leading to unforeseen consequences.
