Born in New York City, John Casilear was a leading Hudson River School
painter, known for serene landscapes that reflect delicate detailing he
learned as an engraver and his interest in Luminism or the reflection
of light on natural forms.
He began his study with master
engraver Peter Maverick and then studied landscape painting with Asher
Durand. To earn money, Casilear worked for many years as an
engraver for the American Bank Note Company and later with his own
firm.
