Artwork Description

The Martyr of the Solway, painted by John Everett Millais in 1871, is a moving Pre-Raphaelite portrait of Margaret Wilson, a young Scottish Covenanter martyr tied to a stake in the Solway Firth to drown with the tide. Rendered with intense realism, dramatic lighting, and emotional depth, the work captures her serene defiance against a stormy sea, making this reproduction a powerful addition to any collection of 19th-century British art.

This painting suits a traditional or dramatic living room, enhancing spaces with dark or neutral tones, and fits a contemplative office for a heroic atmosphere. It’s a thoughtful gift for history or art lovers or as a unique anniversary or birthday present.
