Martin Johnson Heade: A collection of 284 paintings (HD)
Description: "Martin Johnson Heade was born on the 11th of August, 1819, in Martin-Johnson-HeadeLumberville Pennsylvania. His first art training came from folk artist Edward Hicks and possibly his cousin. Heade is not believed to have any formal training, although this is not certain. By 1839 he was painting his first portraits, with his first exhibition in 1941 at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 1843 he changed his last name from ‘Heed’ to ‘Heade’. Heade travelled a lot, finding inspiration for his works until he finally settled in New York in 1859, where he met several Hudson River School artists, including Frederic Edwin Church, who became a close friend. Because of the way he depicts light in his works, many historians treat him as one of the luminaries. Martin Johnson Heade died on September 4, 1904. While Heade was alive he was not very well known, although around the time of World War II his works were rediscovered and now they can be valued at millions of dollars."
