(October 3, 1867 – November 6, 1934)
Henry Brown Fuller is known for Portrait, allegory and figure painting, etching.
The son of tonalist painter George Fuller, Henry Brown Fuller became a highly respected painter of classical and allegorical works. He was a student of Dennis Miller Bunker at the Cowles School in Boston and of William Merritt Chase and Henry Siddons Mowbray at the Art Students League in New York City.
In 1893, he married Lucia Fairchild. They had two children and spent time at the Cornish Art Colony in New Hampshire, arriving in 1897. They were very social at the Colony and built a large home with a swimming pool and tennis court. Two of his most famous paintings were done in Cornish: “Illusions” and “The Triumph of Truth Over Error,” the latter being an allegorical illustration of a text from a book by Mary Baker Eddy of the Christian Science movement. This painting, ten feet by eight feet, won the Carnegie Prize in 1908 at the National Academy of Design. In 1915, he also won a silver medal for his painting at the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
