Holman Hunt and the Pre-Raphaelite VisionSaturday 11 October 2008 - Sunday 11 January 2009 Manchester Art Gallery FREE This illuminating exhibition tells the remarkable story of Pre-Raphaelite artist Holman Hunt. Our major new show features over 50 key works by the artist, many on loan from around the UK. It's the first ever opportunity to see all three versions of Hunt's iconic work The Light of the World together - discover how it became the most viewed painting in the world. In our latest historical exhibition we guide you through Hunt's life and the time in which he lived. Maps, photographs and letters explore his involvement with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and trace his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Thoughtfully positioned seating and quiet reading spaces are also provided so you can linger a while over Hunt's contemplative works.
The Light of the World, Holman Hunt
