| Painter and teacher, born in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. He studied with Couture in Paris (1856–9), served in the Confederate Army (1862–5), established a studio in New York (1866–9), and headed the McMicken School of Design (later the Cincinnati Art Academy) (1869–1904). He studied in Munich (1881–3) and retired to Bensonhurst, Long Island (1904). A historical, genre, and seascape painter, he is primarily known for his sympathetic portrayals of black Americans, as in ‘The American Slave Mart’ (1865) and ‘The Price of Blood’ (1868), a scene of a plantation owner selling his mulatto son. |
