George Henry Hall was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, but soon moved to Boston where he grew up. Although he lacked formal training in art, he began to paint in 1842 at the age of 17. He travelled extensively in Europe from 1850-1852, returning to America in 1852 to settle in New York where he spent most of the rest of his life.
