British oil painting "Ranger Knight"

The Ranger Knight was created by the famous 19th-century British painter John Everett Millais, one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite school, a former president of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, specializing in oil paintings on canvas, which was born in 1870 and has a background of significant romanticism.

Ranger Knight

In the painting, a beautiful woman is tied under a tree, with white skin and long legs, and from the silhouette, she is a typical Western European and American girl, with a slight side of her body, a head slightly downward, a rope wrapped around her waist, and her abdomen is slightly raised, looking tired and weak, and it is obvious that she has been tortured physically and mentally and is in pain. Behind the woman was a knight with a determined and alert look, trying to cut the rope that bound the woman with the sword in his hand, while his eyes were sharp, alert to all the activities in front of him. The contrast between the woman and the knight's all-over ironclad, the brave and righteous Ranger knight rescues the beautiful woman, which is a microcosm of the author's dissatisfaction with 19th-century British society, and the second half of the 19th century is the victorian era that is very famous in British history, a period in which people usually do not have their own housing except for the nobles who can inherit land and property, and the gap between rich and poor is huge. The author is deeply immersed in the tide of change in British society, eager to change the status quo in some way and reach the other side of inner freedom.
