John Amory Codman — painter of portraits, landscapes, harbors, beach,
and marine scenes — was born in 1824 and died in 1886. He resided
and worked in Boston, MA from 1849 through the 1860s. He
exhibited with the Apollo Association in 1839; the American Art-Union
in 1849; the Boston Athenaeum in 1856; and he displayed two oil
paintings, Marblehead Neck and Landscape, at the Boston Art Club in 1873.
Codman is listed in the Boston City Directory 1849 to 1855 as an artist
and thereafter without an occupation. He is listed in Mary
Bartlett Cowdrey's, American Academy of Fine Arts and American Art-Union, 1953, and Mabel M. Swan's, The Athenaeum Gallery 1872-1873, Boston, 1940.
Codman's work is represented in many private and public collections:
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has eleven marine and coastal
paintings, five watercolors and six oils on canvas, paperboard, and
panel supports.
