Hermon Atkins MacNeil (1866-1947) was an American sculptor known for his portrayals of Native American subjects and public monuments. Born in Everett, Massachusetts, he studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art School and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He spent time among Native American communities in the Southwest, and these experiences shaped his most recognized works.
MacNeil designed the Standing Liberty quarter (1916-30), one of the most admired U.S. coin designs. His bronze The Sun Vow and other Native American subjects were exhibited at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. He later created the pediment sculpture for the U.S. Supreme Court Building in Washington.
