William Holman Hunt.

Goldfinch60



The Light of the World shines over us all,
As it shined through his life.
This man who was no Scapegoat,
But painted his thoughts onto canvas.

    The Pre-Raphaelites are not my favourite artists - a bit too close to realism but WHH was one of the best

    • Goldfinch60

      He certainly was Michael. There is a painting in the Ashmolean called "A Converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druids" I have spent hours in front of that and every time I look I see more in it.

      A fine write and pic Gold. Yes, poor scapegoat. It lived, while the other goat was sacrificed for sins. But was its lot much better?

      • Goldfinch60

        It is a wonderful artwork.

        Never heard of the fellow you pay tribute to here. I shall return later and google .

        • Goldfinch60

          Google away my friend it is worth it in my humble opinion.
