John Everett Millais' The Blind Girl (1856) is a poignant and richly symbolic Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece. The painting depicts two destitute sisters, with the older blind girl stoically accepting her fate while the younger one tenderly gazes at the world she still has the privilege to see. A radiant double rainbow arcs across the stormy sky, symbolizing hope and renewal amidst hardship. Millais’ meticulous attention to detail, from the embroidered butterfly on the blind girl’s shawl to the lush pastoral landscape, enhances the emotional depth of the scene, evoking themes of perception, innocence, and the sublime contrast between light and darkness.
