HURDY GURDY BOY PRINT AFTER WILLIAM MORRIS HUNT
A color lithograph print after the original painting titled The Hurdy Gurdy Boy by William Morris Hunt. Framed with mount. William Morris Hunt (American, 1824-1879) studied with Thomas Couture in Paris and then in Barbizon with Jean-François Millet, one of the leaders of the Barbizon school of painters. Upon returning to New England, Hunt introduced the works of Camille Corot, Théodore Rousseau, and the Barbizon school to the Boston society circles in which he moved, thereby helping to turn a rising generation of American painters toward Paris and away from the national style epitomized by the Hudson River school landscape painters. This original lithograph is after the 1851 Hunt painting currently in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Although Hunt was an early American practitioner of lithography, his original prints are quite scarce and this print is one of his rarest.
