A Clarke County, Virginia born artist, William Washington painted portraits and military genre scenes of the Civil War. He was especially known for a work titled The Burial of Latane, an image generally associated with the lost cause of the South. He was close to this subject because he had been a civilian draftsman for General Robert E Lee.
He trained in Washington DC and in Dusseldorf, Germany at the Academy with Emanuel Leutze, and exhibited at the Pennsylvania Acade (showing 500 of 3493 characters). |
