| Painter, born in Tappan, New York, USA. His family moved to New York City (c.1811) where he painted signs for fire coaches. He studied with John Wesley Jarvis (c.1814–22), and later lived on a farm in Illinois (c.1847), producing works with religious themes, and then moved to Jersey City. His work is symbolistic and based on the literary themes of James Fenimore Cooper and Washington Irving, as in ‘Ichabod Crane Pursued by the Headless Horseman’ (c.1828). |
