William Holman Hunt

William Holman Hunt was a founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and stayed faithful to its ideals of truth to nature all his life. He travelled several times to the Holy Land to paint biblical scenes in their real setting, producing The Scapegoat and The Finding of the Saviour in the Temple. The Light of the World, his best-known painting, is in Keble College, Oxford, and a later version hangs in St Paul’s Cathedral. The Hireling Shepherd is in Manchester Art Gallery, and he wrote a history of the movement.
