About the piece

Painted in 1892, John Everett Millais's 'Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind' takes its title from a song in Shakespeare's 'As You Like It.' The work is a masterclass in atmospheric landscape painting, using a muted palette of grays, browns, and whites to convey the harshness of the elements and a sense of narrative melancholy as figures move through the desolate, snow-covered terrain.
