John Guille "Johnny" Millais (; 24 March 1865 – 24 March 1931) was a British artist, naturalist, gardener and travel writer who specialised in wildlife and flower portraiture. He travelled extensively around the world in the late Victorian period detailing wildlife often for the first time. He is noted for illustrations that are of a particularly exact nature. ==Early life== John Guille Millais was the fourth son and seventh child of Sir John Everett Millais, the Pre-Raphaelite painter, and his wife Effie Gray. John was raised in London and Perthshire with a wide interest in natural history, which embraced horticulture, hunting including big game hunting and wildfowl. As a boy he made a collection of birds shot around the Perthshire coast of Scotland where he spent much of his childhood. This formed the basis of a lifetime collection of around 3,000 specimens that he later housed in a private museum in Horsham in West Sussex, England.〔''Birds of the World'' – Chapter on Great Bird Artists IPC magazines 1969〕 Specimens from this collection were depicted by his father in his painting ''The Ruling Passion'' (also known as ''The Ornithologist''). John Guille himself painted a bird in his father's painting ''Dew-Drenched Furze''.〔(''Knowledge and Family in Millais's The Ruling Passion'' )〕〔J G Millais, ''The Life and Letters of Sir John Everett Millais'', vol 2, pp. 173, 213–4〕
