| Little is known about the actual life of this artist, "considered the
first American-born painter of note" (Gustafson), but his great
grandfather, named Robert Feke, settled in Watertown, Maine in
1631. It is thought the artist was born in Oyster Bay, Long
Island where he grew up with his Baptist family and that he died in
either Bermuda or Barbados. He is thought to have been a
mariner who traveled widely to England and Europe, and he appeared in
Boston by 1748. I (showing 500 of 2137 characters). |
