General Description:

This picture, also known as Christ in the Carpenter's Shop, was unfortunately timed: its first exhibition came almost immediately after the journalistic revelation of what "PRB" meant - the movement was distrusted by the general public and viewed as subversive and arrogant. As a result, Millais' painting was denounced by most contemporary art critics and was further publicly censured by a scathing review from Charles Dickens. He was to describe the characters in the painting as "a hideous, wry-necked, blubbering red-headed boy, in a bed gown" (Jesus) and "a kneeling woman so hideous in her ugliness that ... she would stand out from the rest of the company as a Monster, in the vilest cabaret in France, os the lowest gin shop in England: (Mary).

The conventional Victorian public dutifully followed their critics' lead and declared it a failure; it was the first of Millais' pictures to be insulted and he felt it deeply. Hunt's A Converted British Family... (1850) suffered the same treatment. In later years, both pictures came to be regarded as masterpieces.

Millais' picture was also criticized on religious grounds: some attacked it for what they believed were traces of Catholicism (in particular the prominence of the figure of Mary); others called it blasphemous for daring to depict the holy family in such a down-to-earth manner.
