Artist Biography Hesketh Raoul Lejarderay Millais (4 October 1901 – 24 November 1999), usually known as Raoul or 'Liony' Millais was a portrait painter, equestrian artist and sportsman. Millais was the grandson of the Pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais and the son of naturalist John Guille Millais, from whom he inherited both his artistic talent and his love of animals and of hunting.
Millais is best known for his equestrian paintings and for his Spanish work, created when he accompanied Ernest Hemingway. Like his contemporary, Alfred Munnings, Millais was an opponent of Modernism in art, which he called "the Picasso lark". Millais works have been exhibited & sold at auctions like Christie's and Bonhams in London. The highest recorded sold price was for $27,400 Us dollars. His oeuvre has been posthumously profiled in publications such as Artnet, The Independent, The Field, and Art UK.
He married Elinor Clare Macdonell, daughter of railroad magnate Allan Ronald Macdonell and Margaret Helen Ryan (heir and niece of Hugh Ryan), of Montreal, Canada. Millais and Elinor and had two sons, John Millais (b. 1927) and Hugh Geoffroy Millais (b.1929) who became a celebrated actor. After Elinor's death in 1953, Millais married his second wife Kay Prior Palmer with whom he had a third son, Hesketh Merlin. He died in 1999 in his 99th year in Oxfordshire, England.
