Daniel Huntington, Coast Scene, Storm Passing Off, ca. 1850, oil on canvas, 21 7/8 in. x 27 1/8 in. (55.56 cm x 68.9 cm), Regarding Daniel Huntington's paintings, critic Henry Tuckerman wrote in 1867: 'The main idea, the chief aim of his pictures, to which fidelity of detail and artistic effect are subsidiary, is to express a sentiment . He would not amuse, dazzle, or simply please us, he teaches and inspires.' Huntington was a leading figure in the New York art world at midcentury, serving as the president of the National Academy of Design beginning in 1862 and the founding vice president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A prominent portraitist, he also painted religious and historic subjects, as well as landscapes. Coast Scene, Storm Passing Off is a study for a larger painting of the same subject now in the collection of the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
