| A portrait, landscape, genre, and still-life painter, born in Wayne County, Indiana, John Witt studied in Cincinnati during the late 1850s under Joseph Oriel Eaton, and then settled in 1862 in Columbus, Ohio. There he initially concentrated on Biblical scenes, and "Rebecca at the Well", his first effort, sold promptly for five hundred dollars. Other efforts, however, did not fare as well, and he partially supported himself for several years as a photographer tinter for Michael Witt. (showing 500 of 1046 characters). |
