The Light of the World (1851–1854) is an allegorical painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt (1827–1910) representing the figure of Jesus preparing to knock on an overgrown and long-unopened door, illustrating Revelation 3:20: "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". According to Hunt: "I painted the picture with what I thought, unworthy though I was, to be divine command, and not simply a good subject." The door in the painting has no handle, and can therefore be opened only from the inside, representing "the obstinately shut mind". The painting was considered by many to be the most important and culturally influential rendering of Christ of its time.

  • The Light of the World (1851-1853) (em português, A Luz do Mundo) é uma pintura alegórica do artista inglês William Holman Hunt (1827-1910) representando a figura de Jesus se preparando para bater em uma porta coberta de vegetação e por muito tempo fechada, ilustrando Apocalipse 3:20: "Eis que estou à porta e bato; se alguém ouvir a minha voz, e abrir a porta, entrarei em sua casa e cearei com ele, e ele comigo". Segundo Hunt: "Eu pintei o quadro com o que eu pensava ser, indigno que eu era, pelo comando divino, e não simplesmente como um bom tema". A porta da pintura não tem maçaneta e, portanto, pode ser aberta apenas por dentro, representando "a mente obstinadamente fechada". Hunt, 50 anos depois de pintá-lo, sentiu que tinha que explicar o simbolismo. (pt)
  • «Светоч мира» (англ. The Light of the World) — аллегорическое полотно художника-прерафаэлита Уильяма Холмана Ханта, представляющее фигуру Христа у массивной, заросшей бурьяном, давно запертой двери. Картина иллюстрирует Откровение Иоанна Богослова: «Се стою у двери и стучу. Если кто услышит голос Мой и отворит дверь, войду к нему, и буду вечерять с ним, и он со Мною» (Откр. 3:20). Название картины также взято из Евангелия: «Аз есмь свет миру» (Ин. 8:12) (англ. I am the light of the world). (ru)
  • La luce del mondo (The Light of the World) è un dipinto allegorico di William Holman Hunt realizzato tra il 1853 e il 1854. Rappresenta la figura di Gesù in procinto di bussare ad una porta ricoperta di erbacce e a lungo non aperta. Secondo Hunt: "la porta nel dipinto è senza maniglia, e pertanto può essere aperta solo dall'interno, il che rappresenta la mente ostinatamente chiusa". Interessante notare dalla lampada si illumina la mezzaluna araba e la stella di David.Hunt, 50 anni dopo averlo pitturato, sentì che doveva spiegarne il simbolismo. (it)
  • Światłość świata (ang. The Light of the World) – alegoryczny obraz angielskiego malarza Williama Holmana Hunta, jednego z założycieli Bractwa Prerafaelitów. Obraz powstawał w latach 1853-54, początkowo w prowizorycznym baraku w Worcester Park Farm w Surrey, później w pracowni artysty. Dla uzyskania lepszych efektów Hunt pracował nocą na dworze, przy świetle lampy. Swój pierwszy „nokturn” malował od 9.00 wieczorem do 5.00 nad ranem, pragnąc wiernie przedstawić scenę oświetloną blaskiem księżyca. Ukończone dzieło, opatrzone cytatami z Pisma Świętego, wystawiono w Akademii Królewskiej (1854); przemalowano je w 1858. Twórca sprzedał je potem (wraz z prawami autorskimi) Thomasowi Combe, uniwersyteckiemu wydawcy i mecenasowi sztuki. Przekazany w darze przez wdowę po nim, obraz umieszczono na sta (pl)
