Alexander H. Wyant was born on January 11, 1836, at Evans Creek, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, the son of Daniel Wyant and Hannah Shanks.
Shortly after his birth his parents moved to Defiance, Ohio, where Alexander attended the village school and was later apprenticed to a harness maker. As a child he showed an aptitude for drawing, but his interest in art found little encouragement. In 1857 he had the good fortune to see some pictures by George Inness, and he made the long trip to New York to seek the artist's advice. Encouraged by Inness, he succeeded in securing material assistance from Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati and was enabled to study in New York, where he was represented in the exhibition of the National Academy of Design in 1864.
In 1865 Wyant visited Europe and studied briefly with Hans Gude at Karlsruhe, but the prevailing German taste for highly finished storytelling pictures with a rather dark tonality evidently did not attract him. Visiting England and Ireland on the way home, Wyant no doubt saw and learned from the paintings of John Constable and the English landscape school, but an intense and individual naturalism is the dominant quality of Wyant's early work. An outstanding example of this phase of his development is Mohawk Valley (1866).
Interested in America's newly opened western lands, Wyant took a sabbatical from his prospering career and joined a government expedition to Arizona and New Mexico in 1873. En route there, he was subject to exposure and unusual hardships, which evidently brought on the illnesses plaguing him for the rest of his life. His right side was paralyzed, which necessitated that he learn to paint with his left hand. Most remarkably, after 1873 Wyant's style became more intimate and less concerned with aerial perspective and panoramic views. The naturalistic, even photographic effects of the early work gave way to simplified brushwork, a use of broken color, and bolder designs. The later "impressionistic" studies of autumn effects, views in the Adirondacks or along the Ohio River, and the pictures such as Driving Mists and Moonlight and Frost brought him honors at home and abroad.
His later years were uneventful and solitary. Physical infirmities restricted his activities, although he continued to paint each summer in the Catskill Mountains and in his New York studio in winter. He died on November 29, 1892, at his studio, 52 East Twenty-third St. , New York.

Paralysis of the right side was followed by a long illness, after which Alexander Wyant was obliged to learn to paint with his left hand. His physical infirmity restricted his activities and colored to an apparent degree his outward character.
In 1880, Alexander Wyant married Arabella Locke, by whom he had a son.
