Focusing on William Holman Hunt's artistic journey, this critical reassessment showcases his works in color and positions him within an international context. It explores his personal struggles with themes like individual isolation, the decline of faith, and the role of art amid materialism. The book combines an analysis of his lesser-known later works with insights from private letters and scientific research, linking the act of painting to the artist's physicality. Lavishly illustrated, it serves as an essential resource for students and admirers of Hunt.
