Not illustrated. 1861 edition. Excerpt: ... WILLIAM HOLMAN HUNT, AND HIS WORKS. The son of a warehouseman of London, who had passed his life in the Manchester trade, "William Holman Hunt, even from the place of his birth, Wood Street, Cheapside, surrounded as he was by influences of the great English staple, seemed destined to no more enlarged rule of duty in the world than to follow the footsteps of his father, and become, primarily, a clerk in a great manufacturing house. His family, with this prospect for their eldest son, were more urgent that he should be committed to that career, from seeing how persistently he employed his leisure time, while at school, in practising drawing; the examples of, George Morland, and another painter of the same moral and social stamp, being those best known to them, and, consequently, dreaded beyond measure, as the necessary lives of all men who practised painting. Indeed, for some years, until old enough to act alone, their authority u compelled Hunt to that occupation, and the age of sixteen found him an assistant to the London agents of Mr. R. Cobden, then calico-printer of Manchester, subject to those desagremens which beset one who, with a heart and soul given to another pursuit, is compelled to perform tasks his mind is not interested in, while self-confidence urges to a wider flight. Born in April, 1827, 1842 found William Holman Hunt still so placed. Urged by the strong passion of a selfreliant mind, he broke through these family objections, and received, with the reluctant consent of his family, in the evenings of one day in each week, some instructions from a city portraitpainter.

Writing the Pre-Raphaelites
Author: Tim BarringerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351536257
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
This vibrant collection of essays claims that a complex network of texts by critics, biographers and diarists established the credibility and influence of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Throughout the twentieth century, Modernist taste failed to acknowledge the achievement of oppositional groupings such as the Pre-Raphaelites. The essays collected here, however, reveal that the British group anticipated later avant-gardes by using the written word to configure for itself a radical artistic identity. Public and critics alike were scandalized by the radicalism of Pre-Raphaelite painting, its unflinching portrayal of historical figures and of contemporary life, and its irreverent attitude to artistic convention. Pre-Raphaelitism's innovations were not confined to style: new forms of artistic identity and behaviour were explored. As the contributors interrogate the texts through which Pre-Raphaelitism was constructed, they demonstrate that the movement's wide influence as a cultural phenomenon derived from the interplay between exhibited works and critical discourse. Applying a range of sophisticated methodologies from the fields of literary studies, art history, and cultural studies, these interdisciplinary essays uncover the neglected role of texts in the success of the Pre-Raphaelite rebellion and argue in favor of a new centrality for this movement in the history of nineteenth-century European culture.

Book Description
This was first published in 2000: A study of John Ruskin's engagement with art and architecture as a critic, a patron and a teacher. It offers insights into both his writings and the visual economy of the Victorian world. Each essay examines Ruskin's relationship with an individual artist or a distinct aspect of art practice. J.M.W. Turner, D.G. Rossetti, W. Holman Hunt and E. Burne-Jones are among those artists discussed whose personal relationships with Ruskin affected his critical writing. Ruskin's attitude to women artists and his approach to the teaching of art are given special attention.
