John Everett Millais

A Huguenot, on St. Bartholomew's Day, Refusing to Shield Himself from Danger by Wearing the Roman Catholic Badge (1852)
An Idyll of 1745 (1884) - http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/online/exhibitions/childhood/idyll.asp
'Such idealised views of children as paragons of innocence, truth and morality were common in Victorian art. However, it could be argued that for Millais to have created a sentimental costume piece from the horrors of Cumberland’s campaign showed an insensitive attitude to Scottish history. '
