Henry Hitchings was a celebrated Boston artist known for his landscape paintings of rural America.

Whipple’s book, New England Scenery from Nature, in 1852, and he exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the American Art-Union, the Boston Art Club, and the Boston Athenaeum. Beginning in the 1860’s, Hitchings also devoted himself to teaching; he served as an art professor at the U.S. Naval Academy for eight years and worked as a drawing teacher in the Boston public schools. His work is currently featured in the Dedham Historical Society in Dedham, Massachusetts.
