Lemuel Everett Wilmarth (1835-1918)
Lemuel Wilmarth’s paintings reflect his classical training with Jean Leon Gerome in Paris. His carefully rendered works reflect the academic style of the nineteenth century Ecole des Beaux Arts. Known principally for genre and history scenes, he also painted still life. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design from 1866 to 1893 with other well-known still life artists including George Henry Hall, William Mason Brown and Paul Lacroix, and in 1870 was appointed the first full-time instructor of the Academy.
