Rienzi vowing to obtain justice for the death of his young brother, slain in a skirmish between the Colonna and the Orsini factions
''Rienzi vowing to obtain justice for the death of his young brother, slain in a skirmish between the Colonna and the Orsini factions'' (or simply, ''Rienzi'') is a painting by William Holman Hunt, produced in 1849 and currently in a private collection.
==History==
This painting, with its extremely long title, was the first of Hunt's works to include 'PRB' (Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood) on the canvas.
Hunt took his subject from the 1835 novel ''Rienzi, the Last of the Roman Tribunes'', by Bulwer Lytton.〔Several of Bulwer-Lytton's novels were made into operas, with ''Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen'' being composed by Richard Wagner, and eventually becoming more famous than the novel.〕 It was exhibited at the 1849 Royal Academy exhibition (alongside Millais' ''Lorenzo and Isabella'') with the following excerpt from the novel:
In 1847, Hunt repeatedly sat up all night to finish John Ruskin's ''Modern Painters'' (1843);〔Composed of five volumes, the second one was influential on the early development of Pre-Raphaelitism〕 in ''Rienzi'' he attempted to put into practice all that he had read. The background particularly was painted in careful detail trying to satisfy Ruskin's stringent requirements. As can be seen from some of Hunt's later work, such as ''The Hireling Shepherd'' (1851) and ''The Awakening Conscience'' (1854), the artist often experienced great difficulty with painting his figures in natural poses. This is evident here in the portrayal of the soldier on the far left of the painting.〔Cf. J. Bronkhurst, ''William Holman Hunt : A Catalogue Raisonné'' (2006).〕
