William Holman Hunt (2 April 1827 - 7 September 1910) was a British painter. He was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Hunt's intended middle name was "Hobman", which he disliked intensely. He chose to call himself Holman when he discovered that his middle name had been misspelled this way after a clerical error at his wedding at the church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Ewell. Wikipedia

Just as the Arabian Nights (and for Hunt, Tennyson) contributed to their "imaginary Orient," so in turn they would narrate the East for Western consumption. www.english.uwosh.edu/roth/huntarticle.htm
