Success as an illustrator also put him in the public eye with the engravings market bringing him new wealth. With popularity came a return to more traditional forms in portraiture and landscape inspired by Reynolds Velzquez and the Old Masters although he also played off Whistler and the aesthetic movement. He became president of the Royal Academy in the last year of his life. His son John Guille Millais (18651931) published this highly illustrated and acclaimed twovolume biography in 1899.
