      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Samuel F. B. Morse was an early American painter and inventor. Morse is perhaps best known for being the inventor of the telegraph, and thus the name “Morse” code. Morse was also an accomplished painter and photographer and what some historians have called “the American Leonardo.” However, before his scientific endeavors, Morse was first and foremost an artist.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Morse was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts. He attended college at the very young age of 14 and received his initial artistic training from Washington Allston. While he was a student at Yale University, Morse painted portraits to support himself, and in 1811 he accompanied Allston to Europe.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Lucretia Morse and her Children</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">While in Europe, he studied historical paintings in England and developed a passion for miniature portraits. He remained abroad for four years and in 1815, returned to the United States. However, Morse found very few patrons or commissions for his historical scenes upon his return to the states. In order to support himself, Morse resumed painting portraits in New York City. During that time, it is most likely that American patrons were more interested in buying portraits of themselves instead of historical scenes, which was likely a disappointment to Morse.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Niagara Falls with Rainbow and Indians</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Eventually, Morse helped to found the National Academy of Design in New York where he taught painting and sculpture. During this time, he also ran for mayor. It wasn’t until the early 1830’s that Morse began to devise the idea of the telegraph, and did not actually build one until 1835. After a 1832 trip to study art in Europe, Morse was said to have overheard a conversation about electromagnets and began to devise the idea of the telegraph.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Benjamin West</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Because of his interest in other things, Morse generally did not paint after the 1830’s. While Morse did not experience a lifelong artistic career, he was a highly respected artist during his time. It is insinuated by some art historians that the real reason that Morse turned away from art was because of a disappointment over not receiving a commission to paint a mural for the Rotunda in Washington D.C. Morse even discontinued to teach painting after 1841, but was still listed as a professor right up until his death.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Despite the fact that, historically, Morse was considered more successful as an inventor than a painter, he left a large oeuvre of important pieces behind. Morse painted important members of American history, such as fellow inventor Eli Whitney, James Monroe and Marquis de Lafayette.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/morse/Morse_JamesMonroe.jpg" alt="James Monroe"></p>
