American Painter, 1813-1894
American painter, active also in Europe. At the age of 17 he set up a studio in Boston after receiving encouragement from Thomas Sully, who was painting portraits there. Despite his youth and lack of training, he presented himself to the society figure Mrs Harrison Gray Otis and asked if he might paint her portrait (untraced); she agreed and later sponsored Healy's first trip abroad. In 1834 he entered the studio of Antoine-Jean Gros; the French master's suicide the following year ended Healy's only sustained period of artistic study. In Gros's studio he first encountered Thomas Couture, but they did not meet again until the next decade Related Paintings of George P.A.Healy :. | Crispin van de Passe the Elder after Maerten de Vos and Georg Hoefnagel | poultry 147 | St. George Victorious over the Dragon af | i regnvader, motiv fran paris | Ancient Ruins | Related Artists:
