A two-minute test
Waterhouse or Millais?
ArtStudy players mixed these two up 10 times in the last 90 days. One clue is usually all it takes.
John William Waterhouse
Waterhouse paints myth and legend through wistful young women — pale faces, loose auburn hair, water and reeds, softly brushed in a dreamy, melancholy hush.
John Everett Millais
Millais paints with crystalline Pre-Raphaelite detail — every leaf and petal sharp, colour brilliant, subjects emotional and literary.
Can you tell them apart?
One clue to notice, the two side by side, then three paintings you haven’t seen. No sign-up.
