Abbott Handerson Thayer

Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849–1921) was an American artist renowned for his ethereal angel paintings and portraits. Born in Boston, his artistic journey led him from landscapes to his signature angelic figures. Beyond art, Thayer had a profound interest in ornithology, co-authoring "Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom," a foundational text on animal camouflage. His theories later influenced military camouflage during World War I. Despite personal challenges, Thayer's legacy remains influential in both art and science.
