The Boyhood of Raleigh
|
|
(1870, Tate Gallery) Painting by *Millais which chimed with the mood of Victorian imperialism by evoking the romantic beginnings of colonial expansion. The boy *Raleigh, who would later lead expeditions to both north and south America, sits on the beach with a young friend, listening intently to a sailor who points beyond the horizon.
