Although the table-top setting was common in his work, his preference for placing his still-lifes in natural settings is indicative of his devotion to the aesthetic philosophy of John Ruskin. He grew up in Boston and began to paint about 1842. He spent several years in Europe before settling in NYC about 1852. He made many trips to Europe and North Africa between 1860-95, and was also well-known for his exotic genre pictures of North African and Italian peasant life.Sources: G&W; WW13; DAB; Art Annual, XI, obit.; Panorama (Dec. 1945), 33, repro.; Cowdrey, NAD; Cowdrey, AA & AAU; Swan, BA; Rutledge, PA; Washington Art Assoc.
