William Holman Hunt

William Holman Hunt.

-

London brings another talent

though at first not apparent.

Hunts father a warehouse man

a clerk, hunts career began.





A trier he believed in work

he didn't avoid or shirk.

Several menial jobs at first

but art his real thirst.





Earning extra with portraiture

with fellow artists good rapport

He makes the R and A at last

and there the die is cast .





They form the Pre-Raphaelites

artistic reality with moral heights.

Throughout his life he stays the same

art verity and fidelity his aim.
