  • The Order of Release, 1746 is a painting by John Everett Millais exhibited in 1853. It is notable for marking the beginnings of Millais's move away from the highly medievalist Pre-Raphaelitism of his early years. Effie Gray, who later left her husband John Ruskin for Millais, modelled for the female figure. The painting depicts the wife of a Highland Jacobite soldier, who has been imprisoned after the Jacobite rising of 1745, with an order securing his release. She holds her child, showing the order to a guard, while her husband embraces her. The Illustrated London News reviewed the painting as follows: It is time now that we speak of Millais – Millais the Pre-Raffaelite; the "pretender" Millais that was; the "usurper" Millais that is; the "legitimate" Millais that perhaps (much virtue in that little word) may be; and who has certainly a larger crowd of admirers in his little corner in the Middle Room than all the Academicians put together command; …Truth to say, Mr. Millais, in this "Order of Release" (265), has achieved for himself an "order of merit" worth more than any academic honour, and has earned a fame which a whole corporate academy might be proud to portion amongst its constituent members. Whilst we admit – nay assert this – we would by no means wish to be understood as enrolling ourselves incontinently of this young artist's "party" (for there is partisanship in everything, even in art); but simply as asserting that Pre-Raffaelitism (or rather the artists who have been foolishly styled Pre-Raffaelites) is a "great fact", and perhaps may lead to the regeneration of art in this country; …The subject is simply that of a wife, with child in her arms, coming with an order of release for her husband, who has been taken in the Civil Wars. The husband, overcome with emotions, and weak from a recent wound (his arm is in a sling), can but fall upon her neck and weep; moan, "firm of purpose", sheds no tear; she has none to shed; but her eye is red and heavy with weeping and waking; and she looks at the stern and unconcerned gaoler with a proud look, expressing that she has won the reward for all her trouble past. The colouring, the textural execution, are marvellous (for these degenerate days). The dark, generalised background is a departure from the highly detailed backgrounds of earlier works such as Ophelia, as is the emphatic chiaroscuro. However, the portrayal of tense relationships disrupted by historical dramas was a continuation of the theme of A Huguenot and The Proscribed Royalist, 1651. While working on the painting, Millais began to develop a friendship with Effie, the wife of his principal supporter, the critic John Ruskin. A study for the painting has a drawing of her head on one side and an image of a man kneeling in supplication to a woman on the other, labelled "accepted." (en)
  • The Order of Release, 1746 är en oljemålning av den engelske konstnären John Everett Millais. Målningen kallas också för Befrielsen på svenska. Den målades 1852–1853 och ingår sedan 1898 i Tate Britains samlingar i London. Målningen skildrar en jakobit som fängslats efter engelsmännens seger över Bonnie Prince Charlies armé i slaget vid Culloden 1746. Hustrun överlämnar ett dokument med beslut om hans frigivning till den engelske fångvaktaren. I prerafaelitisk anda var Millais mycket noga med detaljerna och tartanen på mannens kilt anger att han tillhör klanen Gordon. Av dotterns klädsel framgår att hustrun tillhör klanen Drummond. Millais tycks ha hittat på motivet på egen hand även om han kan ha inspirerats av Walter Scotts böcker såsom Waverley. Som modell för kvinnan stod Effie Gray som blev hans fru 1855. Vid målningens tillkomst var hon dock fortfarande gift med konstkritikern John Ruskin. Boken The Order of Release, the story of John Ruskin, Effie Gray and John Everett Millais told for the first time in their unpublished letters (1947) av Millais och Grays barnbarn amiral handlar om detta triangeldrama. Målningen ställdes ut på Royal Academy of Arts 1853 där den blev en stor framgång för konstnären. (sv)
