      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">John Vanderlyn was an American Neoclassical painter born in Kingston, New York. The grandson of painter Pieter Vanderlyn, John Vanderlyn originally studied business, only creating art as a hobby. However, after attending art classes at the drawing school of Archibald Robertson, Vanderlyn emerged himself further into his art.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Still Life Fruit in a Neoclassical Setting</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Vanderlyn eventually traveled to Philadelphia where he worked in the studio of Gilbert Stuart. Money was scarce for Vanderlyn at the time, and he was only able to continue his studies through his benefactor, Aaron Burr, whose family he would paint throughout the years. This enabled him to travel to France in 1796, where he stayed for five years, working and studying.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/vanderlyn_j/Vanderlyn,John_TheodosiaBurr.jpg" alt="Vanderlyn painting, Theodosia Burr"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Theodosia Burr</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">For the next few years, Vanderlyn would continue to travel between the United States and Europe, essentially going to England, Paris and Rome. While in Rome, he painted his famous picture “Marius and the Ruins of Carthage” which he later won a gold medal for in Paris.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/vanderlyn_j/Vanderlyn,John_MariusAndTheRuins%20OfCarthage.jpg" alt="Vanderlyn painting, Marius and the Ruins of Carthage"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Marius and the Ruins of Carthage</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">This led to relative fame for Vanderlyn and a succession of important paintings would follow. His 1814 painting “Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos,” depicting the classical character in the nude also gained him critical acclaim.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img width="auto" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/vanderlyn_j/Vanderlyn,John_Ariadne.jpg" alt="Vanderlyn painting, Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos 1814"></p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Vanderlyn finally returned to the states for good in 1815, and upon his return, he was commissioned to paint portraits of various important American political figures, among them Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor. At this time, Vanderlyn was also showing panoramas, but neither these nor his portraits brought him much financial success.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">James Monroe</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Not until 1842 would Vanderlyn come back into the limelight, when he was commissioned by the government to paint “The Landing of Columbus” which was to hang in the rotunda in the nations’ capital. Vanderlyn traveled to Paris to execute this painting, but it is said that he hired a French assistant who most likely painted the entire picture. Vanderlyn died in his hometown of Kingston ten years later, practically penniless and sadly forgotten.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img width="auto" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/vanderlyn_j/Vanderlyn,John_TheLandingOfColumbus.jpg" alt="Vanderlyn painting, The Landing of Columbus"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Landing of Columbus</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">One of the most interesting things about John Vanderlyn is that it is likely that he was the first American born artist to have traveled to France instead of England to receive academic training. Art historians credit Vanderlyn for bringing the Neoclassical style to the United States. Vanderlyn’s style was very academic, and did not typically stray from the artistic tastes of the day into more creative waters.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sampson Vryling Stoddard Wilder</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Today, Vanderlyns’ paintings are housed all over the United States, particularly in New England, and perhaps in your own home.
