The Return of the Dove to the Ark 1851

"The Return of the Dove to the Ark" (1851) by Sir John Everett Millais is a Pre-Raphaelite painting depicting two women, one in a green gown and the other in a white robe, with a dove landing on the woman's arm. The dove is a symbol of peace and hope, which is a common theme in Pre-Raphaelite art, which sought to revive medieval techniques and themes in art. The painting is known for its detailed depiction of the figures and the symbolism of the dove. "The Return of the Dove to the Ark" is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK.
