William Sidney Mount

William Sidney Mount (November 26, 1807 – November 19, 1868) born in Setauket, New York was a renowned genre painter and contemporary of the Hudson River School. Mount trained at the National Academy of Design in New York. Two of his more famous paintings are "Eel Spearing at Setauket" (1845, New York State Historical Association, Cooperstown) and "Bargaining for a Horse" (1835, New-York Historical Society, New York City). Beginning as a history painter, Mount moved to depicting scenes from everyday life. The largest collection of his works are located in The Long Island Museum of American Art, History, and Carriages

His home and studio, the William Sidney Mount House, is a National Historic Landmark. One of the local elementary schools in The Three Village Central School District is named in his honor, as is PS 174 elementary school in Rego Park, Queens. A residential building is named after him on the Stony Brook University campus.
