Biografia
Hunt nacque in una famiglia colta del Connecticut; era fratello del
pittore William Morris Hunt e del pioniere della fotografia Leavitt
Hunt. Dopo la morte del padre 1843 la famiglia si trasferì in
Svizzera. Richard studiò pertanto dapprima a Ginevra e poi a
Parigi, in Francia, dove frequentò l'Académie des beaux-arts.
Tornato negli Stati Uniti nel 1855, vi diffuse il gusto eclettico e
lavorò soprattutto per i Vanderbilt.
