Besides he took drawing lessons and worked as a copyist in the British Museum and the National Gallery in London. In 1845 he was finally accepted at the Royal Academy. There he met the painter John Everett Millais and three years later he founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with him. Soon other painters joined the movement. As early as 1840, paintings of Old Dutch and Italian painting entered the National Gallery. The Pre-Raphaelite group was immediately fascinated by the Italian painters of the trecento and quattrocento. The artists saw the painting of the Middle Ages as their model. They demanded a detailed depiction of nature as the old masters had already depicted it. The clarity and order of late medieval Italian painting was to be revived in a new art movement.
William Holman Hunt rejected the academic direction of painting and devoted himself to a realistic representation of nature. In 1848 Hunt exhibited his first pre-Raphaelite painting St. Agnes' Eve at the Royal Academy, but the art-interested public initially criticized Hunt's lifelike paintings. Because of his failure, the painter thought of emigrating at short notice. The important art historian John Ruskin was impressed by Hunt's painting style and in 1851 he stood up for the Pre-Raphaelites. He published several letters in the Times in which he defended the realistic reproduction of nature on canvas. Hunt finally achieved his first success with three paintings, including The Hired Man of 1852.
A year later, the Brotherhood of the Pre-Raphaelites broke up, although other painters such as John Everett Millais also celebrated their first artistic successes. Millais gained academic recognition as his paintings came closer to the prevailing taste in art. William Holman Hunt undertook a journey to the Holy Land. With the sale of his painting The Finding of Jesus in the Temple of 1860, he consolidated his reputation as an artist. He married twice and travelled to Greece, Italy, Egypt and Palestine. In 1905 an autobiography of William Holman Hunt was published. In the years that followed, exhibitions in Glasgow, London, Liverpool and Manchester paid tribute to the painter's complete works. He died in London in 1910.
