William Holl, an engraver of See also:note, and the son of See also:Francis Holl, A.R.A., another engraver, whose profession he originally intended to follow. Entering the Royal See also:Academy See also:schools as a probationer in See also:painting in 186o, he rapidly progressed, winning See also:silver and See also:gold medals, and making his debut as an exhibitor in 1864 with " A Portrait," and " Turned out of See also:- CHURCH

Church," a subject picture. " A See also:Fern Gatherer " (1865); " The See also:Ordeal " (1866); " Convalescent " (the somewhat grim pathos of which attracted much See also:attention), and " Faces in the See also:Fire " (1867), succeeded. Holl gained the travelling studentship in 1868; the successful See also:work was characteristic of the See also:young painter's See also:mood, being " The See also:Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away." His insatiable zeal for work of all kinds began See also:early to undermine the artist's See also:health, but his position was assured by the studentship picture, which created a sort of furore, although, as with most of his See also:works, the blackness of its coloration, probably due to his training as an engraver, was even more decidedly against it than the sadness of its theme. Otherwise, this painting exhibited nearly all the best technical qualities to which he ever attained, except high finish and clearness, and a very sincere vein of pathos. Holl was much below See also:Millais in See also:portraiture, and far inferior in all the higher ways of See also:design; in technical resources, relatively speaking, he was but scantily provided. The range of his studies and the manner of his painting were narrower than those of Josef Israels, with whom, except as a portrait-painter, he may better be compared than with Millais. In 187o he painted " Better is a See also:Dinner of Herbs where Love is, than a Stalled Ox and Hatred therewith "; " No Tidings from the See also:Sea," a See also:scene in a fisherman's cottage, in 1871—a See also:story told with breath-catching pathos and See also:power; " I am the Resurrection and the See also:Life " (1872); " Leaving See also:Home " (1873), " Deserted " (1874), both of which had See also:great success; "Her First-born," girls carrying a baby to the See also:grave (1876) ; and " Going Home " (1877). In 1877 he painted the two pictures " Hush " and
" Hushed." " Newgate, Committed for Trial," a very sad and telling piece, first attested the breaking down of the painter's health in 1878. In this See also:year he was elected A.R.A., and exhibited " The Gifts of the Fairies," " The Daughter of the See also:House," " Absconded," and a very See also:fine portrait of See also:Samuel See also:Cousins, the See also:mezzotint engraver. This last See also:canvas is a masterpiece, and deserved the success which attended the See also:print engraved from it. Holl was overwhelmed with commissions, which he would not decline. The consequences of this See also:strain upon a constitution which was never strong were more or less, though unequally, See also:manifest in " Ordered to the Front," a soldier's departure (188o); " Home Again," its sequel, in 1883 (after which he was made R.A.). In 1886 he produced a portrait of Millais as his diploma work, but his health rapidly declined and he died at See also:Hampstead, on the 31st of July 1888. Holl's better portraits, being of men of rare importance, attest the commanding position he occupied in the See also:branch of See also:art he so unflinchingly followed. They include likenesses of Lord See also:Roberts, painted for See also:queen See also:Victoria (1882); the See also:prince of See also:Wales, Lord Dufferin, the See also:duke of See also:Cleveland (1885); Lord See also:Overstone, Mr See also:Bright, Mr See also:Gladstone, Mr See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0.
