Hunt, William Holman (1827–1910). Painter. The eldest son of a warehouseman, one of his early jobs was as a clerk in the London agency of Richard
Cobden, the manufacturer and MP. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1844, where he met
Millais and
Rossetti, with whom he founded the
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Hunt devised the technique of the brotherhood, using bright colours with no strong contrasts of light and shade. He travelled extensively in Egypt and the Holy Land to paint biblical and moral subjects in authentic settings. Among his best-known works were
The Light of the World and
The Hireling Shepherd, which were reproduced in great numbers in Victorian Britain. In 1905, the year he was awarded the OM, he published a memoir,
Pre-Raphaelitism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
