'In his famous Discourses on Art, [Sir Joshua] Reynolds encouraged young British artists to follow in the Renaissance tradition, to revere Raphael, and to aspire to the classical ideal—that perfect beauty never found in nature but attainable by the artist through careful selection and improvement. Hunt and Millais reacted against this view and resolved to paint people and things just as they found them, observing the particular features of actual models in detail. Taking heart from the truth to nature they saw in art from before the time of Raphael, they and five like-minded colleagues, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, decided to call themselves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB); the other members were the relatively minor artists Thomas Woolner and James Collinson, along with William Michael Rossetti and F. G. Stephens, who were to have distinguished careers as art critics. The excited discussion that led to the formation of the PRB took place at Millais's house in Gower Street in September 1848.' - ODB article - http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/18713?docPos=1

'On 25 April 1854 Effie left Ruskin, and on 15 July she was granted a decree of nullity dissolving the marriage' - ODB

'Millais's closest male friend at this stage of his life was John Leech, the Punch draughtsman; though twelve years his senior, Leech was probably the closest friend he ever had. The two men admired each other's work, shared much the same sense of humour, and were both passionate sportsmen.' - ODB
