"Portrait of William Cullen Bryant (1825)" is a significant work by the American artist Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791–1872), who is perhaps better known for his role in the development of the telegraph and Morse code. This portrait is an oil on canvas painting that captures the likeness of William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878), an American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post. Bryant was a leading figure of American literary life in the 19th century, and his works, including the poem "Thanatopsis," are considered cornerstones of American literature.

Morse, before his ventures into invention, was an accomplished artist and a central figure in the American art scene. He studied at the Royal Academy in London and went on to become one of the founders of the National Academy of Design in New York. The portrait of Bryant is a testament to Morse's skill as a portraitist, showcasing his ability to capture both the physical likeness and the intellectual spirit of his subjects.

The painting is notable for its representation of Bryant at a time when he was establishing himself as a significant literary figure. The portrait is characterized by its detailed rendering and the thoughtful expression on Bryant's face, suggesting the poet's contemplative nature. Morse's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures of Bryant's clothing and the background elements, contribute to the overall solemn and dignified atmosphere of the piece.

"Portrait of William Cullen Bryant" is not only a work of art but also a historical document, reflecting the cultural and intellectual milieu of the United States during the early 19th century. It remains an important piece in the study of American portraiture and the intersection of art and literature during this period. The painting is held in the collection of the New-York Historical Society, serving as a cultural artifact that continues to engage scholars and the public alike.
