Summary:

William Morris Hunt is the first modern study of the influential Boston painter who played a leading role during a transitional period of American art in the late nineteenth century. His greatest contributions to American art, however, were his two mural paintings, The Flight of Night and The Discoverer, completed for the Albany, New York, Assembly Chamber in 1878.
