Biography
William Holman Hunt (b.1827 d.1910) was an English painter and co-founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Alongside Millais and Rossetti, Hunt aimed to study nature attentively expressing genuine and serious ideas. His approach was to depict events as they would have happened rather than focusing on artistic convention. He made three trips during his life to the Middle East which allowed him to paint biblical scenes with accurate local detail. Hunt’s work is characterised by clear colours and vivid detail often including moral or social symbolism.
