“Victory O Lord!” is an oil painting on canvas created by John Everett Millais in 1871. The artwork, which belongs to the Romanticism art movement, is a religious painting depicting a biblical scene. It measures 194.7 x 141.3 cm and is housed in the Manchester Art Gallery in Manchester, UK.
The artwork illustrates an intense and dramatic moment, featuring three figures in a desert-like landscape. In the center, an elderly man with a long beard, clothed in brown robes, sits with an expression of exhaustion and solemnity. He is supported on either side by two other men; one, wearing dark garments, stands behind him gripping a wooden staff and assisting in holding up his arms, while the other, in vivid red attire, stands to the right, with a look of fierce determination and holding the central figure’s hand aloft. The sky in the backdrop is painted in warm hues, creating a contrasting atmosphere of hope and struggle, highlighting the scene’s emotional intensity and spiritual granularity.
