ISUMBRAS, SIR, AT THE FORD, Sir John E. Millais, Bart., John Graham, Esq., London; canvas, H. 4 ft. 1 in. × 5 ft. 7 in. An ancient knight, clad in golden armour, who has attained all the glories of this life, has laid aside his pride to help two wood-*cutters' children over a river ford upon the saddle of his grand war-horse. The landscape, a sunset in the forest along the river's bank, was painted on the Tay. The verses in the Academy Catalogue, ascribed to the "Metrical Romance of Syr Ysumbras," were written by Tom Taylor. Royal Academy, 1857. Satirized in a caricature of the time entitled "A Nightmare" (by Frederick Sandys?), representing the artist on an ass, carrying Dante G. Rossetti and Holman Hunt, with Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian on the distant bank, in attitudes expressive of horror of this last Pre-Raphaelite attempt. The picture was purchased originally by Charles Reade, the novelist.
