William See also:Holl, an engraver of See also:note, and the son of See also:Francis Holl, A.R.A., another engraver, whose profession he originally intended to follow
.
Entering the Royal See also:Academy See also:schools as a probationer in See also:painting in 186o, he rapidly progressed, winning See also:silver and See also:gold medals, and making his debut as an exhibitor in 1864 with " A Portrait," and " Turned out of See also:- CHURCH

Church," a subject picture

" A See also:Fern Gatherer " (1865); " The See also:Ordeal " (1866); " Convalescent " (the somewhat grim pathos of which attracted much See also:attention), and " Faces in the See also:Fire " (1867), succeeded
.
Holl gained the travelling studentship in 1868; the successful See also:work was characteristic of the See also:young painter's See also:mood, being " The See also:Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away." His insatiable zeal for work of all kinds began See also:early to undermine the artist's See also:health, but his position was assured by the studentship picture, which created a sort of furore, although, as with most of his See also:works, the blackness of its coloration, probably due to his training as an engraver, was even more decidedly against it than the sadness of its theme
.
Otherwise, this painting exhibited nearly all the best technical qualities to which he ever attained, except high finish and clearness, and a very sincere vein of pathos
.
Holl was much below See also:Millais in See also:portraiture, and far inferior in all the higher ways of See also:design; in technical resources, relatively speaking, he was but scantily provided
.
The range of his studies and the manner of his painting were narrower than those of Josef Israels, with whom, except as a portrait-painter, he may better be compared than with Millais
.
In 187o he painted " Better is a See also:Dinner of Herbs where Love is, than a Stalled Ox and Hatred therewith "; " No Tidings from the See also:Sea," a See also:scene in a fisherman's cottage, in 1871—a See also:story told with breath-catching pathos and See also:power; " I am the Resurrection and the See also:Life " (1872); " Leaving See also:Home " (1873), " Deserted " (1874), both of which had See also:great success; "Her First-born," girls carrying a baby to the See also:grave (1876) ; and " Going Home " (1877)
.
In 1877 he painted the two pictures " Hush " and
" Hushed." " Newgate, Committed for Trial," a very sad and telling piece, first attested the breaking down of the painter's health in 1878
.
In this See also:year he was elected A.R.A., and exhibited " The Gifts of the Fairies," " The Daughter of the See also:House," " Absconded," and a very See also:fine portrait of See also:Samuel See also:Cousins, the See also:mezzotint engraver
.
This last See also:canvas is a masterpiece, and deserved the success which attended the See also:print engraved from it
.
Holl was overwhelmed with commissions, which he would not decline
.
The consequences of this See also:strain upon a constitution which was never strong were more or less, though unequally, See also:manifest in " Ordered to the Front," a soldier's departure (188o); " Home Again," its sequel, in 1883 (after which he was made R.A.)
.
In 1886 he produced a portrait of Millais as his diploma work, but his health rapidly declined and he died at See also:Hampstead, on the 31st of July 1888
.
Holl's better portraits, being of men of rare importance, attest the commanding position he occupied in the See also:branch of See also:art he so unflinchingly followed
.
They include likenesses of Lord See also:Roberts, painted for See also:queen See also:Victoria (1882); the See also:prince of See also:Wales, Lord Dufferin, the See also:duke of See also:Cleveland (1885); Lord See also:Overstone, Mr See also:Bright, Mr See also:Gladstone, Mr See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0.
