| 382. The below left portrait is titled "Congo
Negro." Judging from the handling of the fruit and the basket,
the piece appears to be Spanish in origin from the late 17th
or early 18th century. The subject matter is a unique piece within
the outstanding collection of the DuSable Museum of African American
History, Chicago, Illinois. |

work of Joseph Turner (1775-1851) and it certainly is his style.

Indianapolis, Indiana is vast and varied. They are the largest
holder of paintings by the great T. C. Steele. This site had
documented over forty paintings from this artist alone. The below

| 385. Asher Durand (1796-1886) was born in
Jefferson Village, New Jersey, the eighth of eleven children.
His frail health exempted him from working on the family farm;
instead, he helped his father, a watchmaker and silversmith.
Later he went into engraving work and the completion of the engrave
Declaration of Independence in 1823 established Durand's
reputation as one of the country's finest engravers. During the
late 1820s and early 1830s, when his interest gradually shifted
from engraving to oil painting, he demonstrated a growing competence
in portraiture and genre subjects. In 1837, a sketching expedition
to Schroon Lake, in the Adirondacks, with his close friend Thomas
Cole seems to have determined Durand's decision to concentrate
on landscape painting. With the death of Cole, in 1848, Durand
was recognized as the leader of American landscape painting.
These oils are owned by the Richmond Art Museum, Richmond, Indiana. |
