I think this is my favourite Millais painting. I spent a lot of time in the Tate in the early 80s, mainly for the pre-raphaelites.

Me too! Fell in love with Millais there.

I love Tennyson (and other romantic poets)! The thumbnail for this piece drew me in. After a feisty workout, I just wrapped up a long series of auditions for voiceovers and share that sensation of it having been a long day. But the more I heard about this, the more I could relate to this woman.. I always feel like I'm in some strange holding pattern where I pray, wait, and pass the time. Not so much with needlework, but her bondage and limitation are relatable. I love the detail about Millais climbing scaffolding to see the stained glass windows he recreated in this piece - that's dedication, lol. Yearning for more and for love indeed. I didn't expect to find such a kindred spirit here, but this is an amazing piece.

This is one of my favorite paintings in the world, and I relate to her very much the way you do. (Beth)

[@Sasha0927]

@@smarthistory-art-history I hope you don't relate the way I do (lol), but your empathy means a lot to me. I hope it changes for both of us.❤ And it's always interesting to hear which pieces you guys love the most! I'm curious why you love this one so much in particular, but can't blame you. It is lovely.
