Biography

Eastman Johnson (1824–1906) was an American painter and one of the leading artists of the 19th century. Born in Lovell, Maine, Johnson became known for his realistic and genre paintings that depicted scenes of American life, particularly during the Civil War era. His work provides a valuable visual record of the social and cultural landscape of 19th-century America.

After studying in Europe, including time in Düsseldorf and The Hague, Johnson returned to the United States and established himself as a prominent figure in the American art scene. He became associated with the Hudson River School and later the genre painters, creating works that combined elements of portraiture and narrative scenes.

One of Johnson's most famous paintings is "Negro Life at the South" (1859), which depicts scenes from plantation life before the Civil War. This work is notable for its portrayal of African American subjects in a dignified and humanizing manner, challenging prevailing stereotypes of the time.

Johnson was also known for his portraits, capturing the likenesses of notable figures, including Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Walt Whitman. His portraiture work demonstrated a keen understanding of character and a commitment to capturing the essence of his subjects.

As an artist, Johnson was versatile, exploring various genres and styles throughout his career. His paintings often reflected his interest in the everyday lives of ordinary people, showcasing a sensitivity to the human condition.

In addition to his artistic pursuits, Eastman Johnson played a significant role in the development of the American art world. He co-founded the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and was involved in the establishment of the National Academy of Design.
