"St. Bartholemew's Day" is a painting by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene with a nobleman in ornate attire, a nun kneeling before him, and a friar pointing towards the door. The friar's gesture and the nun's pleading posture suggest a moment of urgent appeal, possibly relating to the historical St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572. The painting is characterized by Millais' detailed style, evident in the rich textures of the fabrics and the expressive faces of the figures. While the painting is currently in a private collection, its historical and artistic significance has garnered significant interest from art enthusiasts.
