William Holman Hunt (1827–1910) was a British painter and writer, best known as a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an influential artistic movement that sought to challenge the academic norms of Victorian art. While Hunt is primarily celebrated for his vivid, highly symbolic paintings like The Light of the World and The Awakening Conscience, he also made his mark in literature with his novel The Triumph of the Innocents (1885). This work reflected the same intense religious devotion and meticulous attention to detail that characterized his visual art.
