Daniel Huntington
American, 1816–1906
Huntington studied with Samuel F. B. Morse and Henry Inman in New York and made several journeys to Italy, which shaped his early allegorical and religious pictures, such as Mercy’s Dream. He became one of New York’s most sought-after portraitists, painting politicians, financiers and clergy, and served as President of the National Academy of Design for two long terms. He was also a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and served as its vice-president.
