Sight: 17.5x13.5”. Overall: 23x19”. Partial AskArt Bio: William Hart is a formidable Hudson River School artist who painted portraits, landscapes, allegorical and genre paintings. He was born in Paisley, Scotland on March 31, 1823, five years before his brother and fellow painter James Hart (1828-1901).  The Harts moved to Albany, New York in 1831.  William apprenticed to a carriage maker, but by the time he was 18 he turned to portrait painting. In 1840, he began to travel across the country painting landscapes, and by 1845 he had painted in Troy, New York; Richmond, Virginia; and in Michigan, where he spent three years.  After a brief trip to Scotland, he returned to Albany in 1847 and opened a studio in New York City in 1854. Hart painted Peace and Plenty the following year.  In 1855, he was elected an Associate of the National Academy after having established his reputation as a fine landscape painter with Peace and Plenty.  In 1858, he was elected a Full Member of National Academy of Design in New York City, and in 1865, was a founder and President of the American Water Color Society from 1870 to 1873. He was a frequent exhibitor in New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and Washington.  His last years were spent in Mt. Vernon, New York, where he died on June 17, 1894.  His work is represented in the Metropolitan Museum, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the National Gallery, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and in many other museums and institutions.
