William Bliss Baker, a landscape painter, was born in New York City in 1859 and spent his childhood in the village of Ballston Spa. His talent for art became apparent at an early age. Beginning regular art studies at the National Academy of Design at the age of seventeen, Baker won the Elliott prize for drawing in 1879. He is also noted as having studied under M.F.H. de Haas and with the panoramic landscape artist Albert Bierstadt.
Baker maintained a studio in up-state New York above Alba (showing 500 of 1871 characters). |
