Description
 

Archer Milton Huntington (1870-1955) belonged to one of the wealthiest families in the United States. His father, Collis Potter Huntington, was instrumental in building the Central Pacific Railroad and owned the Newport News Shipbuilding yards. From an early age, Huntington developed a deep interest in the Hispanic world, even learning Spanish from a teacher from Valladolid (Proske, 1963). In 1892, he visited Spain for the first time, accompanied by Professor William I. Knapp from Yale University (Merino de Cáceres and Martínez Ruiz, 2012).

Although his father offered him the opportunity to manage the shipyards, Huntington declined to continue the family business and instead chose to devote his life to his passion: collecting. After purchasing land in Manhattan, he founded The Hispanic Society of America in 1904, a museum and library that houses one of the world's largest collections of Hispanic art and literature. He worked with numerous agents, including Joseph Duveen, Bernard Berenson, and Jacques Seligmann, who sourced works from Spain for him. Huntington was regarded as "the great benefactor of Spanish culture" (Merino de Cáceres and Martínez Ruiz, 2012), earning him the support of both Spanish artists and politicians.
