Hunt, William Henry
(b London, 28 March 1790; d London, 10 Feb 1864). English watercolourist. He was apprenticed to John Varley about 1804. Although handicapped by deformed legs, Hunt frequently sketched from nature along the Thames with his fellow apprentice, John Linnell. Together they attended Dr Thomas Monro’s Academy, and in 1808 Hunt joined Linnell at the Royal Academy Schools, London. Although he exhibited sporadically with the Society of Painters in Water-Colours from 1814, he did not become an associate until 1824 (having been rejected as a candidate the previous year). He became a full member in 1826.
