CONCLUSION
“All’s well that ends well—through art’s magic.”
The work of artists of the English school, and there are many, are in
the Tate Gallery, the adjunct of the National Gallery. You must go there
to study them—Mulready, Leslie, Etty, Ward are there. I think that you
will agree with me that the peculiarity of the English school is its
singularity. It differs from every other school. It is essentially
itself. The English people are thought cold and insular by the
continental nations, and their art expresses their separateness.
You have heard of the pre-Raphaelite movements, the object of which was
to revive the faithful study of nature—its ideal was sincerity. The
pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, as the artists who formed it called
themselves, painted with fine, small touches; they omitted what are
called the values in painting. The effect was often that of hardness.
Millais (1829–1896), our great artist, joined the brotherhood, but,
after a while, he returned to the old school with its broader methods.
Still the discipline of his pre-Raphaelite studies clung to him, and he
never lost the splendid accuracy of his touch. During his pre-Raphaelite
period he painted some of his noblest pictures—“The Vale of Rest,” the
“Ophelia,” and others which are now in the Tate Gallery. We have here
but two of his splendid portraits, that of W. E. Gladstone (1666), and
that of the great surgeon, Sir Henry Thompson (1941). Look at the fire
and the tenderness in the eyes of Mr. Gladstone. The portrait was
painted in 1879, at the time when the Eastern part of Europe was in
revolt against Turkish despotism. Then the soul of the great statesman
was full of wrath at the idea of liberal England backing Turkey, and
going to war for her sake. And in the portrait of Sir Henry Thompson how
splendidly the decision, the masterfulness of the spirit of the sitter,
are conveyed. We cannot look at these two works without acknowledging
the power and insight of Millais’ genius.
He was born in Jersey, and his parents came to London in 1837, and
settled in Gower Street. They sent their son to an art school directed
by Mr. Sass, and there, at the age of nine, he won a silver medal. At
eleven he was admitted to the Academy schools. Before he was seventeen,
he had painted his first picture, which was hung in the Royal Academy,
and in 1847 he gained the R.A. medal. In 1853, when he was just
twenty-four years of age, he was elected an Associate, and, ten years
afterwards, he attained the full dignity of Royal Academician. After the
death of Lord Leighton, the Presidentship of the Academy was offered to
Millais. He accepted it, but disease had already marked him for its own,
and he died in 1896. Those of you who are old enough, must remember the
magnificent series of pictures he painted, and how every year, when the
Academy opened, there was but one question of interest, “What has
Millais painted?”
And now we have finished our tour of the National Gallery. We have left
many pictures unnoticed, but I think we have left out none that are
memorable, and that you will be able to trace the peculiarities of each
master in his works. The master’s genius is the outcome of his time, of
his faith and struggles. We have seen how Catholicism reigned over the
spirit of Italy and Spain; how Protestantism and love of country
inspired the artists of the Low Countries, how charming and cultured
artificiality was expressed in French art, and how the art of England
declares her strong and insular soul.
Art is the language of the spirit. Poetry, music, painting, sculpture
tell us the secret of humanity’s dreams. The National Gallery and all
the picture galleries throughout the world are shrines of one mode of
its expression, and as such are unique and important possessions.
