.
See also:Holman See also:Hunt's father was the manager of a See also:city warehouse,with tastes See also:superior to his position in See also:life
.
He loved books and pictures, and encouraged his son to pursue See also:art as an amusement, though not as a profession
.
At the See also:age of twelve and a See also:half Holman Hunt was placed in a city See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, but he employed his leisure in See also:reading, See also:drawing and See also:painting, and at sixteen began an See also:independent career as an artist
.
When he was between seventeen and eighteen he entered the Royal See also:Academy See also:schools, where he soon made acquaintance with his lifelong friend See also:John See also:Everett See also:Millais, then a boy of fifteen
.
In 1846 Holman Hunt sent to the Royal Academy his first picture (" Hark 1 "), which was followed by " Dr Rochecliffe performing Divine Service in the Cottage of Joceline Joliffe at See also:Woodstock," in 1847, and " The See also:Flight of Madeline and See also:Porphyrio" (from See also:Keats's See also:Eve of St See also:Agnes) in 1848
.
In this See also:year he and Millais, with the co-operation of See also:Dante See also:Gabriel See also:Rossetti and others, initiated the famous Pre-Raphaelite See also:movement in art
.
Typical examples of the new creed were furnished in the next year's Academy by Millais's " See also:Isabella " and Holman Hunt's " See also:Rienzi vowing to obtain See also:Justice for the See also:Death of his See also:Young See also:Brother." This last pathetic picture, which was sold to Mr See also:Gibbons for 1o5, was followed in 1850 by " A Converted See also:British Family sheltering a See also:Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druid's " (bought by Mr See also:Combe, of the See also:Clarendon See also:Press, See also:- OXFORD

This See also:scene from The Two Gentlemen of See also:Verona was very warmly praised by See also:Ruskin (in letters to The Times), who declared that as studies both of drapery and of every See also:minor detail there had been nothing in art so See also:earnest and See also:complete since the days of See also:Albert See also:Durer
.
It gained a See also:prize at See also:Liverpool, and is reckoned as the finest of Holman Hunt's earlier See also:works
.
In 1852 he exhibited " A Hireling Shepherd." " Claudio and Isabella," from Measure for Measure, and a brilliant study of the See also:Downs near See also:Hastings, called in the See also:catalogue " Our English Coasts, 1852 " (since generally known as " Strayed See also:Sheep "), were exhibited in 1853
.
For three of his works Holman Hunt was awarded prizes of £50 and £6o at Liverpool and See also: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 See also:emigration
.
In 1854 he achieved his first See also:great success by the famous picture of " The See also:Light of the See also:World," an allegorical See also:representation of See also:Christ knocking at the See also:door of the human soul
.
This See also:work produced perhaps the greatest effect of any religious painting of the See also:century

" The Awakening See also:Conscience," exhibited at the same time, depicted a tragic moment in a life of See also:sin, when a girl, stricken with memories of her See also:innocent childhood, rises suddenly from the knees of her paramour

The inner meaning of both these pictures was explained by Ruskin in letters to The Times in May 1854

" The Light of the World " was See also:purchased by Mr Combe, and was given by his wife to See also:Keble See also:College
.
In 1904 Holman Hunt completed a second " Light of the World," slightly altered from the See also:original, the See also:execution of which was due to his dissatisfaction with the way in which the Keble picture was shown there; and he in-tended the second edition of it for as wide public See also:exhibition as possible
.
It was acquired by Mr Charles See also:Booth, who arranged for the exhibition of the new " Light of the World " in all the large cities of the colonies
.
In See also:January 1854 Holman Hunt See also:left England for See also:Syria and See also:Palestine with the See also:desire to revivifyoncanvas the facts of Scripture See also:history, " surrounded by the very See also:people and circumstances of the life in See also:Judaea of old days." The first See also:fruit of this See also:idea, which may be. said to have dominated the artist's life, was " The Scapegoat," a solitary outcast See also:animal See also:standing alone on the See also:salt-encrusted shores of the Dead See also:Sea, with the mountains of See also:Edom in the distance, seen under a gorgeous effect of See also:purple evening light
.
It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1856, together with three Eastern landscapes
.
His next picture (186o). one of the most elaborate and most successful of his works, was " The Finding of our Saviour in the See also:Temple." Like all his
few pictures as the painter of " The Light of the World," " The Scapegoat," " The Finding of our Saviour in the Temple " and " The See also:Triumph of the Innocents "; and his greatness was recognized by his inclusion in the See also:- ORDER

.
Many causes contributed to the delay in its completion, including a See also:sentence of what was tantamount to See also:excommunication (afterwards revoked) passed on all See also:Jews acting as See also:models
.
Thousands crowded to see this picture, which was exhibited in London and in many English provincial towns
.
It was purchased for £5500, and is now in the Birmingham Municipal Art See also:Gallery
.
Holman Hunt's next great religious picture was " The See also:Shadow of Death " (exhibited separately in 1873), an imaginary incident in the life of our See also:Lord, who, lifting His arms with weariness after labour in His workshop, throws a shadow on the See also:wall as of a See also:man crucified, which is perceived by His See also:mother

After two years' See also:absence Holman Hunt returned to See also:Jerusalem in 1875, where he was engaged upon his great picture of " The Triumph of the Innocents," which proved to be the most serious labour of his life
.
The subject is an imaginary See also:episode of the flight into See also:Egypt, in which the See also:Holy Family are attended by a procession of the Holy Innocents, marching along the See also:waters of life and illuminated with unearthly light
.
Its execution was delayed by an extraordinary See also:chapter of accidents
.
For months Holman Hunt waited in vain for the arrival of his materials, and at last he unfortunately began on an unsuitable piece of See also:linen procured in despair at Jerusalem
.
Other troubles supervened, and when he arrived in England he found his picture in such a See also:state that he was compelled to abandon it and begin again
.
The new version of the work, which is somewhat larger and changed in several points, was not completed till 1885
.
Meanwhile the old picture was relined and so skilfully treated that the artist was able to complete it satisfactorily, and there are now two pictures entitled " The Triumph of the Innocents," one in the Liverpool, the other in the Birmingham Art Gallery
.
The pictures exhibited between 1875 and 1885 included "The See also:Ship," a realistic picture of the See also:deck of a passenger ship by night (1878), and portraits of his son (188o), Sir See also:Richard See also:Owen (1881) and Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1884)
.
All of these were exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery, where they were followed by " The See also:- BRIDE (a common Teutonic word, e.g..Goth. bruths, O. Eng. bryd, O. H. Ger. prs2t, Mod. Ger. Bract, Dut. bruid, possibly derived from the root bru-, cook, brew; from the med. latinized form bruta, in the sense of daughter-in-law, is derived the Fr. bru)
Bride of See also:Bethlehem " (1885), " See also:Amaryllis " and a portrait of his son (tracing a drawing on a window) in 1886
.
His most important later work is " May-See also:Day, Magdalen See also:Tower," a See also:record of the service of See also:song which has been held on the tower of Magdalen, Oxford, at sunrise on May-Day from time immemorial
.
The subject had interested the artist for a great many years, and, after " The Triumph of the Innocents " was completed, he worked at it with his usual devotion, climbing up the tower for See also:weeks together in the See also:early See also:morning to study the sunrise from the See also:top
.
This radiant poem of the simplest and purest devotion was exhibited at the See also:Gainsborough Gallery in Old See also:Bond Street in
189r
.
He continued to send occasional contributions to the exhibitions cf the Royal See also:Water-See also:Colour Society, to the New
Gallery and to the New English Art See also:Club
.
One of the most
remarkable of his later works (New Gallery, 1899) is " The
See also:Miracle of Sacred See also:Fire in the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church of the See also:Sepulchre, Jerusalem."
By his strong and See also:constant individuality, no less than by
his See also:peculiar methods of work, Holman Hunt holds a somewhat
isolated position among artists
.
He remained entirely unaffected
by all the various movements in the art-world after 1850
.
His
ambition was always " to serve as high See also:priest and expounder
of the excellence of the works of the Creator." He spent too
much labour on each work to complete many; but perhaps no
painter of the 19th century produced so great an impression by a
