Henry Brown Fuller (1867-1934) was an American painter of classical and allegorical works.
Fuller was the son of painter George Fuller. He married fellow performer Lucia Fairchild in 1893 and had two children, Charles and Clara. From 1897 onwards, he and his intimates were members of the Cornish Art Colony in Plainfield, New Hampshire. Two of his most well-known paintings were finished there:
He was a student of Dennis Miller Bunker at the Cowles Art School in Boston and of William Merritt Chase and Henry Siddons Mowbray at the Art Students League of New York.
Fuller suffered from bouts of uncompromising depression, which contributed to the breakup of his marriage in 1905. In 1906, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate Academician. He left the Cornish Art Colony to live in the same way as his mother in Deerfield, Massachusetts, and died in 1934 in New Orleans.
