Frances Emily Hunt

Frances Emily Hunt is an American Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.

Frances Hunt painted gentle scenes in oils, mostly of quiet indoor spaces and museums in the early 1900s. Her brush captured soft light on wood floors and the hush of galleries. In The Museum of Fine Arts, Evans Memorial Wing she shows rows of classical statues bathed in calm, north-facing light. Hunt’s work belongs to a loose moment when American artists turned their attention to museums themselves as subjects. Want to step inside the same quiet wing she painted?
