Born in New York City, Elihu Vedder was known as a painter of many
esoteric subjects and was a leading symbolistic painter whose
post-Civil War work evokes melancholy and tragedy. With the
publication of "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam," his illustrations set high
standards for artist designed books.
He spent his youth in
Schenectady, New York, studied art in New York City and Paris and then
spent four years in Florence, Italy. Penniless, he returned to
New York at the start (showing 500 of 5377 characters). |
