Collection of paintings of Wynkoop House by Michael Hunt

Michael John Hunt (1941) is an English figurative painter and etcher. Hunt is known mainly for his still lifes, which are often depictions of intimate interiors both grand and rustic. The scenes are characteristically adorned with familiar objects, particularly empty chairs, dramatically illuminated by a specific light source emanating from a window or doorway. Like the Dutch masters, the surfaces in his paintings are pristine, allowing for the demonstration of technical proficiency though realistic lighting effects such as shadows and reflections. He has work permanently on view at The Hunt Gallery in England.
