| | William Holman Hunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hunt's works were not initially successful, and were widely attacked in the art press for their alleged clumsiness and ugliness. | | | William Holman Hunt (April 2, 1827 – September 7, 1910) was a British painter. | | | Hunt's autobiography Pre-Raphaelitism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was written to correct other literature about the origins of the Brotherhood, which in his view did not adequately recognise his own contribution. |

| | WILLIAM HOLMAN HUNT - LoveToKnow Article on WILLIAM HOLMAN HUNT |
| | Holman Hunts next great religious picture was The Shadow of Death (exhibited separately in 1873), an imaginary incident in the life of our Lord, who, lifting His arms with weariness after labor in His workshop, throws a shadow on the wall as of a man crucified, which is perceived by His mother. | | | Hunt was placed in a city office, but he employed his leisure in reading, drawing and painting, and at sixteen began an independent career as an artist. | | | For three of his works Ilolman Hunt was awarded prizes of io and 60 at Liverpool and Birmingham, but in 1851 he had become so discouraged by the difficulty of selling his pictures, that he had resolved to give up art and learn farming, with a view to emigration.. |

| | William Holman Hunt, 1827-1910 |
| | Hunt was born in London and demonstrated an early talent for painting. | | | Hunt's style is easily distinguished from other Pre-Raphaelite painters by the emotional intensity of his characters and his choice of mainly religious and moral subjects. | | | While still a student Hunt read John Ruskin's 'Modern Painters' in 1847 and became influenced by the idea of a moral purpose for art. |

| | William Holman Hunt on Poetry |
| | Holman Hunt's reliance upon literary sources, his skillful use of complex symbolism, and his devotion to inscriptions on his frames and within the picture all bespeak his basic notion that the painter's image had to associate itself closely with verbal discourse. | | | As Holman Hunt's closing remark makes clear, his views of poetry were always closely related to his conceptions of painting -- and always implicit defenses of his own form of Pre-Raphaelitism. | | | Holman Hunt, one may remark, might have slightly qualified his political views as he grew older, but his conceptions of poetry remained those which Taylor set forth in the 1834 preface to Philip Van Artevelde. |

| | William Holman Hunt: from Literature to Art |
| | Hunt and Tennyson got on well, even when the poet expressed his surprise at the artist's depiction of the Lady: since he had not described her in his poem as having long, loose, wavy hair, he could not understand why Hunt had given her such wayward tresses. | | | Hunt writes of how he and Millais were working together in the same studio, painting far into the night by candlelight in order to achieve the correct lighting effects, as well as to meet the exhibition deadline. | | | Hunt met Tennyson for the first time in 1856, and his sharp artist's eye is evident in his description of the Poet Laureate's appearance: |

| | One of the most influential works that inspired Hunt as an artist was his painting The Hireling Shepherd, according to Maas. | | | Landow's book does not place Hunt within the context of other painters, does not provide a history of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and is not a comprehensive study of William Holman Hunt's life and achievements. | | | Reacting to the criticism of "The Hireling Shepherd" from its first appearance at the Royal Academy in 1852 to that of the time this essay was written, Kriz criticizes the critics and focuses on moral critique for which the painting was originally intended. |

| | Holman Hunt was the only "brother" who read "Modern Painters" of John Ruskin, the first volume of which he discovered in 1845. | | | According to the Ruskin's statements Hunt settled his own principles of art: full transferring of nature, adherence to the inward emotional experience, pedagogical role of art, maintenance of the national traditions, revival of medieval craft and art system. | | | Among the latest Hunt's works the most interesting one is "Lady of Shallot" (1886-1905, Hartford, Wordsworth Athenaeum), in which he anticipated the style "Art Nouveau. |

| | William Holman Hunt's Scapegoat |
| | Suppose that jeanne submitted this painting to the Brooklyn Museum of Art as a satirical study of William Holman Hunt's Scapegoat. | | | This greater iconographical simplicity, which I believe is partly responsible for the work's failure, makes it an uncharacteristic example of Hunt's typological paintings; therefore I think that Herbert Sussman is essentially incorrect when he takes it as representative of the artist's productions. | | | Part of the distraction arises in Hunt's realistic technique which renders so well every detail of the animal's wool, for this detailed portrayal of visual fact really has no iconographic significance and hence dilutes the picture's intended meaning." |

| | His paintings—of which perhaps the two best known are Finding of Christ in the Temple (1854, City Museum, Birmingham, England) and Scapegoat (1854, Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight, England)—are minutely detailed and painted in a style characterized by crowded composition and bright, relatively crude colors. | | | William Holman Hunt was an English painter who, together with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais, was a founder in 1848 of the Pre-Raphaelites. | | | In all of his works, many of which are biblical scenes, he strove for Pre-Raphaelite goals of serious moral content, direct study from nature, and historical authenticity. |
