Daniel Huntington is an American painter and a graduate of Hamilton College and Yale University. He was a student of Samuel F. B. Morse, Henry Inman, and Frederick R. Spencer [Wendy Greenhouse. "Huntington, Daniel." Oxford Art Online. 2007. [Oxford, England]: Oxford University Press. http://www.oxfordartonline.com]. Huntington held an interest for history painting, which in his words, allowed the artist to "picture the passage events of life and make the canvas live and palpitate with human passion and expression," ["Daniel Huntington."

Professionally, Huntington presided as President of the National Academy of Design on two separate occasions, and served as the founding Vice President of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His collection is comprised of 1,200 paintings, including 1,000 portraits. By 1850, he was best known as a portrait artist. Among his most notable portrait subjects was United States President Abraham Lincoln, Martin Van Buren, and Albert Gallatin ["Huntington, Daniel," Marquis Who's Who, Inc, and Credo Reference (Firm). 2008.
