Anahita. The Flight of Night is a 1890 unspecified by William Morris Hunt, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a cloud, surrounded by horses and a figure to her left. The horses are in motion, with one rearing up and another galloping. The woman is looking to her right, and the figure beside her is reaching out towards her. The painting has a dreamy, ethereal quality, with soft colors and gentle brushstrokes. The horses are depicted in various shades of white, brown, and black, while the woman's clothing is a flowing white robe. The background is a soft blue sky with pink and orange clouds. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of movement and energy in the painting. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
William Morris Hunt (March 31, 1824 – September 8, 1879) was an American painter.
