William Holman Hunt (1827 1910) chronicled the Pre-Raphaelite
Brotherhood in this well-illustrated two-volume memoir of 1905,
controversially presenting himself as the movement's founding
father. Popular when first published, it illuminates the search for
authenticity of treatment and depth of meaning in his own work and
that of Millais, Rossetti and their circle. Stressing the
contributions of himself and Millais, Hunt sets out to defend the
Brotherhood's ideals, from which he never departed. After his
success with The Light of the World, he survived exotic and
dangerous travels to create some of the most memorable paintings of
the age, such as The Scapegoat (mostly painted by the Dead Sea with
a gun at hand) and The Lady of Shalott. Volume 2 covers his further
visits to the Holy Land, unconventional remarriage and such later
masterpieces as The Triumph of the Innocents. It culminates in a
polemical 'Retrospect', linking art to nature, morality and
national character.
