About
Why this artist matters now
John Quidor was an American painter of historical and literary subjects. About 35 of Quidor's canvases are known to survive, most of which are based on Washington Irving's stories about Dutch New York, drawing inspiration from the Hudson Valley and from such English painters as William Hogarth, Isaac Cruikshank, James Gillray, Joseph Wright of Derby, and George Morland.
