Holman Hunt by Mary E. Coleridge
"Holman Hunt" by Mary E. Coleridge is a biography written during the early 20th century that explores the life and works of the Pre-Raphaelite painter William Holman Hunt. The book provides insights into his artistic journey, his relationships with contemporaries like Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais, and the significant impact of his subject matter, which often featured vivid biblical and literary themes. The biography is divided into four sections, detailingHunt's youth and artistic development, his experiences in the East which inspired several of his significant works, his subject pictures often rooted in emotional and spiritual narratives, and a discussion on his portraits and other works. Coleridge presents a rich tapestry of Hunt's life, illustrating how his passionate dedication to art and literature informed his painting style and subject choice. Key works such as "The Light of the World," "The Scapegoat," and "The Triumph of the Innocents" are discussed, highlighting Hunt's unique approach to color and light, as well as his commitment to portraying profound themes of faith and morality through his art.
