Oh dear, the lad :
I love how happy he looks 💖 I wonder if the kids he’s with are his grandchildren, or maybe just kids he met along the way and giving a ride home with their firewood. Nothing more noble than making sure the little ones get home okay

"The Dream of the Past: Sir Isumbras," by Sir John Everett Millais in 1857. Fun fact! When this painting was first exhibited in 1857 it was attacked by critics and considered "a catastrophe." They said the horse was too big and the children's faces too exaggerated. However, much of this criticism came from John Ruskin, whose wife had recently left him to marry Millais. Thus, perhaps some of the attacks were more personal than artistic in motivation. Still, Millais altered the painting somewhat in response. More about the story behind the painting 👇 The painting draws from the medieval tale of Sir Isumbras, a once-powerful knight who loses his fortune, status, and even his children, eventually finding spiritual redemption through humility and sacrifice. However, Millais’ work does not illustrate a scene from the original legend. Instead, it’s based on a later pastiche written by a friend, imagining the knight in old age. In the scene, Isumbras is battle-worn and weary, yet still carries himself with dignity. He pauses to help two poor children cross a river, carrying them on his large warhorse—an act of kindness and humility that reflects his inner nobility. The painting serves as a vision of Christian chivalry, portraying true greatness through service and compassion. Some of Millais’ contemporaries saw this ideal as a hopeful way to address growing class divisions in Victorian society. Thank you for watching and learning about this beautiful artwork with me ❤️
