    HISTORY of Hunt:
    A member of one of Vermont's most distinguished families, Clyde du Vernet Hunt was born in Glasgow, Scotland while his parents, Leavitt Hunt and Katherine L. [Jarvis] Hunt, were traveling in Europe.
    Clyde Hunt received some of his early art instruction from his famous uncles, painter William Morris Hunt and architect Richard Morris Hunt. After completing his education in engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Hunt went to Paris to study painting with Jean‐Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant and sculpture with Jules Coutan. He returned to America to serve in the Spanish American War, achieving the rank of Major before returning to civilian life. Throughout his artistic career he maintained a studio in Paris and a home in Weathersfield Bow, Vermont. Hunt died in Washington, D.C. on February 1, 1941 of pneumonia.
