Hunt, a founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was born in London, the son of a warehouse manager. Throughout his life the artist was a devout Christian. William Holman Hunt was also serious minded, & lacking in a sense of humour. He joined the Royal Academy Schools in 1844, where he met Millais & Rossetti, &, in fact brought them together. |

| In 1854 the painter decided to visit the Holy Land, to see for himself the genuine background for the religious works William Holman Hunt intended to paint. The first tangible results of this journey were two William Holman Hunt paintings, “The Scapegoat,’ & ( ‘ The Finding of the Saviour in the Temple,’ which was exhibited nationally to great acclaim in 1860, & sold for the sum of 5,500 guineas, William Holman Hunt was advised on the price by Charles Dickens.)
