William Henry Hunt (1790 - 1864) was born in London. In his early years he painted mainly in oil, but later switched to watercolour. With the latter he became famous and highly regarded as an artist. The young Hunt was a very sickly child. He suffered from deformed legs and was always a little too small and weak for his age. So it was clear early on that normal or physical work would not be an option for him. Instead, he showed interest in painting. At the age of 14, he began his artistic training with the painter John Valery, with whom he remained as a student for about seven years. Another well-known student of Valey, with whom Hunt became friends, was John Linnell .
