EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Lantern for The Light of the World, created in 1852 by William Holman Hunt. Crafted from patinated brass, this gothic revival masterpiece stands at a height of 35 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. The lantern features an attached carry chain and strategically placed openings that allow light to emanate from all sides. Originally designed by Hunt as a compositional prop for his renowned painting, The Light of the World, it is believed to have been skillfully crafted by William Hacking around the same time period. With its intricate metalwork and medieval-inspired design, this lantern perfectly embodies Victorian gothic aesthetics. Its presence adds a touch of mystique and elegance to any space it illuminates. As part of the pre-Raphaelite art movement, this piece symbolizes not only artistic excellence but also serves as a testament to Hunt's attention to detail and dedication to his craft. Whether displayed as an ornamental pendant or used practically as a source of light, this lantern represents an important chapter in art history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every intricate detail in this photo print, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
