Synopsis
Excerpt from Holman Hunt
His family were anxious that he should enter one of the great manufacturing houses as a Clerk and follow in the steps of his father, but their son was very unwilling to enter upon this kind of life, and was eager to be an artist.
He had been removed from school when between twelve and thirteen years of age, as he had never shown much aptitude for study, and employed most Of his time in drawing in his copy books. The first place to which he was sent was to an auctioneer and estate agent as a sort Of probationary clerk.

About the Author
William Holman Hunt was born in London on 2 April 1827. A clerk for several years, he left the world of trade to study at the British Museum and the National Gallery. In 1844 he entered the Royal Academy. Here he joined with Millais and Rossetti to develop the Pre-Raphaelite theories of art and, in 1848, to found the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. His first canvas to interpret these themes was Rienzi, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1849. In 1854 Hunt went to the Holy Land to portray scenes from the life of Christ, aiming to achieve total historical and archaelogical truth. He returned to Palestine in 1869 and again in 1873. Throughout his life Hunt remained dedicated to Pre-Raphaelite concepts, as exemplified in such works as The Light of the World, The Scapegoat and The Shadow of Death. Hunt died in Kensington, London on 7 September 1910.
