藝術家Sylvester GENIN (1822-1850) 生平簡歷

出生地: Clairsville, OH

死亡地点: Kingston, Jamaica

职业: Historical & portrait painter

评论: Genin showed an early interest in painting which was encouraged by his family and by the engraver Hugh Anderson (see entry). Though he did some portraits, his chief interest was in historical painting. He made a visit to the eastern cities in 1840-41, but returned to Ohio. His health failing, he traveled in 1848 to Louisiana and in 1849 to the island of Jamaica where he died of consumption. Five years later his father, Thomas H. Genin, published Selections from the Works of the Late Sylvester Genin, Esq., in Poetry, Prose, and Historical Design, with a Biographical Sketch and 16 engravings after his paintings.
