| Artist and sculptor John Severinus Conway was born in Dayton, Ohio in 1852. He received his first artistic training from Conrad Diehl of the Art Institute of Chicago. He left Chicago, however, after fire destroyed both his studio and his prospects there. Conway then resided in Milwaukee where he soon gathered popular acceptance for his portrait work. He also made several sketching tours into Wisconsin and Minnesota to paint local landscapes. In 1880 Conway completed in only eighteen days a mural (showing 500 of 2827 characters). |
