介绍（中）	亨特的职业生涯在18世纪后期的英国水彩画与约翰·弗雷德里克·刘易斯、迈尔斯·伯基特·福斯特和拉斐尔前派等维多利亚时代的大师之间架起了一座桥梁。16岁时，他开始了与约翰·瓦利的七年学徒生涯，成为同学约翰·林内尔的素描同伴，并在皇家学院学校上课。最重要的是，亨特加入了年轻艺术家的圈子，他们在冬天的晚上聚集在托马斯·蒙罗博士的伦敦家中，复制卡纳莱托和约翰·罗伯特·科岑斯的画作，并在夏天参观了他在赫特福德郡布什附近的赞助人家。这幅美丽清新的早期水彩中的丘陵景观可能位于后者附近。在由自由应用的洗涤引起的景观中，建筑形式被用来增加定义。亨特通过模仿卡纳莱托而掌握的芦苇笔，在快速移动的夏日天空下，为柔和的冲刷增添了清晰的线条，让人想起田野和树叶。拉斯金钦佩亨特，收集了他的作品，并在1859年建议，"在特殊的色彩天赋中，只有一两位拉斐尔前派和旧水彩协会的威廉·亨特是安全的向导。作为一个非常安全的向导，除了威廉·亨特，没有人。"
介绍（英）	Hunt’s career forms a bridge between English watercolor painting of the later eighteenth century, and Victorian masters such as John Frederick Lewis, Myles Birket Foster and the Pre-Raphaelites. At sixteen, he began a seven-year apprenticeship with John Varley, became a sketching companion of fellow student John Linnell, and took classes at the Royal Academy Schools. Most significantly, Hunt joined the circle of young artists who gathered on winter evenings at the London house of Dr. Thomas Monro to copy drawings by Canaletto and John Robert Cozens—and made summer visits to his patron's house near Bushey in Hertfordshire. The hilly landscape in this beautifully fresh early watercolor may lie near the latter. Within a landscape evoked by freely applied washes, architectural forms are used to add definition. Reed pen, which Hunt had mastered by copying Canaletto, adds defining lines to the soft washes evoking field and foliage beneath a rapidly moving summer sky. Ruskin admired Hunt, collected his work, and suggested in 1859 that in "the particular gifts of colour there are only one or two of the Pre-Raphaelites and William Hunt of the Old Water-Colour Society who would be safe guides. And as quite a safe guide, there is nobody but William Hunt."
