He began portrait-painting in Steubenville, O., in 1820, soon wandered as an itinerant in the profession, and finally became one of the most eminent of American landscape-painters.

His two great finished works are The course of Empire and The voyage of life, the former consisting of a series of five, and the latter of four, pictures.
