介绍（中）	在亨特的整个职业生涯中，波斯月亮和夜晚女神阿纳希塔以及屈服于光明降临的黑暗力量的主题间歇性地占据了他的职业生涯。亨特现存最早的阿纳希塔作品可能是一幅铅笔素描，可能出自1847年（美国建筑师学会基金会，华盛顿特区），其中包括三匹疯狂的马和一个未解决的侍从。1848年，亨特开始将这三匹马建模成一个高浮雕，也许是因为他很难在二维中计算出这些下垂的马，而且到目前为止，他的大部分训练都是雕塑。幻彩石膏是一个伟大的alto浮雕雕塑。由一名手持火炬的男子约束的冲锋马从背景中爆发出来，创造了一个生动的动画表面和戏剧性的光影表演。后来，亨特在奥尔巴尼的纽约州议会大厦会议厅的两幅壁画中的一幅，在设计中加入了三维构图，但略有变化。
介绍（英）	The theme of Anahita, Persian goddess of the moon and the night, and the forces of darkness yielding to the coming of light occupied Hunt intermittently throughout his career. Hunt's earliest extant Anahita work may be a pencil sketch, probably from 1847 (American Institute of Architects Foundation, Washington, D.C.), which includes three frenzied horses and an unresolved form of an attendant. In 1848 Hunt began to model the three horses into a high-relief sculpture, perhaps because he was having difficulty working out the plunging horses in two dimensions and much of his training thus far was in sculpture. The illusionistic plaster is a tour de force of alto-relievo sculpture. The charging horses-one restrained by a man holding a torch-burst forth from the background, creating a lively animated surface and a dramatic play of light and shadow. The three-dimensional composition was later incorporated, with slight variation, into Hunt's design for one of the two murals he painted in lunettes in the Assembly Chamber of the New York State Capitol in Albany.
