HUNT, ALFRED WILLIAM (183o-1896) ,
English
  painter, son of Andrew Hunt, a landscape painter, was born at
Liverpool
  in 183o. He began to paint while at the
Liverpool
  Collegiate School; but as the
idea
  of adopting the artist's profession was not favoured by his father, he went in 1848 to Corpus Christi College,
Oxford
 . His career there was distinguished; he won the Newdigate Prize in 1851, and became a Fellow of Corpus in 1858. He did not, however, abandon his artistic practice, for, encouraged by Ruskin, he exhibited at the Royal
Academy
  in 18J4, and thenceforward regularly contributed landscapes in oil and water-colour to the London and provincial exhibitions. In 1861 he married, gave up his Fellowship, and was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours, receiving full membership three years later. His
work
  is distinguished mainly by its exquisite quality and a poetic rendering of atmosphere. Hunt died on 3rd May 1896. Mrs A. W. Hunt(nee
Margaret
  Raine) wrote several works of fiction; and one of her daughters,
Violet
  Hunt, is well known as a novelist.
