| Ammi Phillips was born in Colebrook, Connecticut and began painting
portraits of western Massachusetts subjects in about 1811. In 1813 he
married Laura Brockway of Schodack, New York, and briefly lived in Troy
before settling in Rhinebeck, in Dutchess County. While there, Phillips
painted likenesses on both sides of the New York/New England border.
These "Border Period'' portraits, executed in pastel shades from 1812
through 1819, feature sitters with gangly arms, glancing side (showing 500 of 1824 characters). |
