Next to the 影をつくる/尾行する is a pile of salt, which 専門家s say would have been 広範囲にわたって understood by Victorian men as an emblem for ejaculation.

研究員s believe Millais 含むd the image to 警告する against overindulgence in self-乱用 - an 勧める which, it was 示唆するd at the time, 原因(となる)d a man to be unable to 治める/統治する himself.

Millais was 19 when he produced the 1848 絵, which usually hangs in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.

It was his first work as a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of artists which also 含むd Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman 追跡(する).

The 絵 is based on a poem by John Keats, which is in turn derived from a tale by the 14th century Italian author Boccaccio.

隠すd: The image of the phallus (circled) is a 影をつくる/尾行する made by a man 持つ/拘留するing a nutcracker over a (米)棚上げする/(英)提議する

The story follows 見習い工 Lorenzo, who 落ちるs in love with a merchant's daughter, Isabella, only to be 殺人d by her brothers.

One of the curators of the 展示, Alison Smith, told Mail Online: 'I think it has to be intentional.

'It does relate to the 主題s that the 絵 is 演説(する)/住所ing.'

Ms Smith said the phallic 形態/調整 was probably not ーするつもりであるd to 示唆する that the man 願望(する)s his sister Isabella sexually.

It is more likely that it was 含むd as a 装置 to show the brother as a 'bestial, animal brute'.

'That is really 強調d by the fact he is 割れ目ing a nut with the nutcracker,' Ms Smith said, 'and he has this rapier-like 脚 which, if you follow its line, points 直接/まっすぐに into the womb of Isabella.'

Carol Jacobi, Tate's curator of British Victorian art, first noticed the 影をつくる/尾行する in the 1990s and is about to publish a paper about it.

'It's not about 異性愛の sex,' she told the Times. 'I think it's やめる important that it's 自動車-erotic because it links in with what Keats is 説 about the character of the man as selfish, 全く driven by his own appetites.'

Dr Jacobi 追加するd: 'In fact it's an example of how incredibly innovative and 勇敢な (the Pre-Raphaelites were).

'Millais was the golden boy of the 王室の 学院. He was a paragon. It's incredibly 勇敢な to break so many 支配するs.'

Millais is perhaps best known for his 絵 of a 溺死するing Ophelia, which is one of the Tate's most adored 作品.

T he 展示, called Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde, is 予定 to open tomorrow.

It is the first major UK show 献身的な to the Pre-Raphaelites since 1984.
