John Everett Millais completed this dramatic scene from English history. Queen Elgiva is seized on orders of Archbishop Odo, her face showing distress. Millais brought Pre-Raphaelite intensity to historical narrative.
The young artist created this ambitious work early in his career. The vivid colors and emotional drama are characteristic. This painting hangs at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
