| biography:
| Painter, born in London, UK. He studied at the Royal Academy, shared a studio with Rossetti, and helped inaugurate the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which aimed at detailed and uncompromising truth to nature. His first public success was ‘The Light of the World’ (1854, Keble College, Oxford). The influence of several visits to the East appeared in ‘The Scapegoat’ (1856) and ‘The Finding of Christ in the Temple’ (1860). His Pre-Raphaelitism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (1905) is a valuable record of the movement. |
