Holman Hunt’s painting is one of the most viewed 20th-century art pieces in the world, with a rich tapestry of symbolism to be unravelled.
The painting depicts the figure of Christ knocking on a door that opens from inside, suggesting that God can only enter our lives if we invite Him in. It dates from around 1900 and is the third version that Hunt painted.
This is the third version of this painting by the artist, which can be found in St Paul's Cathedral. The first – from 1853 - resides in Keble College Oxford and the second, painted shortly afterwards, can be seen in the Manchester Art Gallery. The piece in St Paul’s was painted around fifty years later, with the assistance of Edward Robert Hughes, and it is thought to be the culmination of Holman-Hunt’s vision.

Inscription reads:
Behold I stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me.
