Discover the story behind one of the most significant paintings housed in St Paul’s Cathedral with this concise and beautifully presented Light of the World booklet. Written by Eric Hayden, it offers reflections on the background, symbolism and enduring message of Holman Hunt’s remarkable work.

First exhibited in 1854, The Light of the World caused a profound stir within both artistic and religious circles. Admired and criticised in equal measure, it remains one of the most recognisable religious paintings of the Victorian era. Today, Hunt’s painting hangs in St Paul’s Cathedral, where it continues to inspire visitors from around the world with its powerful imagery and spiritual depth.

This 12-page booklet provides an accessible introduction to the painting, its creation and its impact — an ideal companion for those wishing to explore the artwork more deeply after seeing it at the Cathedral.
