What is John Everett Millais known for?

I am known primarily as one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Our aim was to revolutionize British art by rejecting the prevailing academic conventions of the time. We sought a return to the richness and detail of painting as it was practiced before the High Renaissance, hence 'Pre-Raphaelite.' My early works, like 'Christ in the House of His Parents,' exemplify this with their intense realism, focus on precise detail, and often challenging subject matter.
