This is a fundamental reassessment of the work of William Holman
Hunt, and the first critical text to reproduce his pictures in
colour and set him on an international stage. Introducing a new
critique of the autobiography and drawing on hundreds of private
letters, drawings and paintings, the author depicts a radical man
of his times, deeply troubled by the pivotal concerns of the
materialist age - the isolation of the individual, the collapse of
faith and the status of art - and seeking solutions through a
systematic testing of the extremes of painting. A close examination
of the pictures, including neglected later works, combined with
recent scientific research relate the physical act of painting, and
the paint, back to the body of the artist. Lavishly illustrated and
engagingly written, this book answers the longstanding lack of any
monograph on Hunt and will make compelling reading for
undergraduate and graduate students of History of Art, Victorian
Studies, English Literature and Religious Studies, as well as
curators, conservators and the artist's many admirers. -- .
