Born in Boston while his parents were visiting there, John Neagle spent most of his life in Philadelphia where he studied with Peitro Ancora, Thomas Wilson, a coach painter, and Bass Otis, a portraitist and lithographer. Otis introduced him to Thomas Sully, the leading portraitist in Philadelphia, and Neagle eventually married Sully's stepdaughter.
Sully's vivid coloring influenced Neagle's strong, skillful use of color. In 1818, he traveled through Kentucky to New Orleans before setting (showing 500 of 1496 characters). |
