The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, founded in 1848 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), recalls the spiritual beauty of medieval art.
Among them, William Holman Hunt is known especially for his painting, Light of the World, which illustrates his interpretation of the Apocalypse 3:20. Father Jason Smith recently wrote a wonderful analysis of Hunt’s painting on the Biltrix blog, which you can access here.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is currently presenting a range of Pre-Raphaelite artistry until October 26, 2014. To learn more, visit the Met online at The Pre-Raphaelite Legacy: British Art and Design.
