Peter Baumgras

Artist. Born in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany, he studied painting at the Academy of Arts, Dusseldorf and in Munich with August von Kaulbach and Karl Schorn. He worked first as a lithographer and miniaturist. In 1849 he joined the Munich art association. In 1853, he emmigrated to the United States. First settling in New York City and then Syracuse before an 1857 move to Washington, DC where he took part in the decoration of the Capitol. Over the next fifteen years, he co-founded the Washington Art Association and became a teacher at Gallaudet as an instructor of the deaf and blind. Shortly after President Lincoln's second inauguration, Baumgras began a portrait of him from memory and from photographs; he finished it soon after Lincoln's assassination. It is likely his most famous work. During the Civil War, Baumgras was a medic and draftsman, and after, he taught at the Naval Academy at West Point. In 1869 he settled in California painting mining and Yosemite scenes. By 1877 he settled in Chicago working as a professor of art at the University of Illinois.

The majority are watercolor, but there are also oil and pencil sketches and lithographic proofs and prints. Artists include Peter Baumgras, Hermann Faber, A. Pohlers, Edward Stauch, and William Schultze</p> <p> see:</p> <h1 class="gb-volume-title" style="font-size: 11px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: bold; color: #333333; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; widows: 2; display: block; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" dir="ltr">The National Cyclopædia of American Biography: Being the History ..., Volume 10</h1> <p>p. 365  </p> <p>Shows family jewel making history for prince of Bavaria</p> <p>library.brown.edu:</p> <p style="font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 5px 0px 1em; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; background-color: #181b1e; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;">A distinctive oval-framed portrait of Abraham Lincoln was given to the library by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in 1931. Peter Baumgras is not a familiar name among American portrait artists, a fact that Professor Waldo Pratt lamented in his 1937 monograph of Baumgras' life (still the most comprehensive source on the artist). Through interviews with the artist's children, Pratt found that Baumgras, best known for his still life oil paintings, lived an anything but static life himself. He was born in 1827 in Homburg, Austria, and in his days as an art student was a favorite of King Ludwig I. He arrived in the United States at age 25, settled briefly in Syracuse, then moved to Washington D.C. in 1857. He used his art skills on behalf of his adopted country as a medical and surgical draftsman for the Union Army, and subsequently taught art in the Washington and Baltimore area. Later in life, he spent time in California, and then became a member of the Chicago art scene, exhibiting his still life paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago. Hedied in 1903.</p> <p style="font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 5px 0px 1em; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; background-color: #181b1e; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;">The Baumgras children claimed that during his Washington years, the painter was acquainted with Lincoln, who occasionally visited him in his studio. The family legend is that the Baumgras Lincoln which Brown owns was begun from life. The painting is signed by the artist, who dated it "Spring 1865."</p> <p style="font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 5px 0px 1em; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; background-color: #181b1e; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;">The Lincoln portraits are part of the Charles Woodberry McLellan Lincoln Collection, purchased by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., from the eponymous collector and donated to Brown in 1923. Since then, the collection has been substantially augmented by gifts and purchases made possible by the generosity of private donors. The collection is appropriately housed in library named after John Hay, a Brown alumnus (1858), and one of two secretaries who served the sixteenth president of the United States. The collection houses many works of art, including busts, paintings, and photography; it contains a notable manuscript collection, made up of speeches, letters, and other documents; it includes a wide collection of sheet music, plays, poems and popular prints; and it contains such interesting ephemera as Lincoln scrimshaw, commemorative plates, medals, and other memorabilia. There is also a library that includes some books owned by Lincoln as well as books about him and the era of American history over which he presided.</p> <p style="font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 5px 0px 1em; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; background-color: #181b1e; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;"> </p> <p style="font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 5px 0px 1em; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; background-color: #181b1e; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;"> </p> <p style="font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 5px 0px 1em; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; background-color: #181b1e; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;">terenchin.comL</p> <p style="font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 5px 0px 1em; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; background-color: #181b1e; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;">Comments: <span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Lora, Palatino, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing:0px; text-transform: none; float: none; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; font-style: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; display: inline !important; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">He came to the U.S. in 1853. He was in Wash. DC in 1859,when he exhibited at the Wash. Art Assoc. Baumgras painted a portrait of Lincoln in 1865 and although he was primarily a portraitist, he also created flower and fruit paintings that have came to be highly regarded. He was active in Calif. from 1869-77 and fulfilled portrait commissions in Oregon during 1872-74. Baumgras was back in Washington (DC) 1900-1903, but returned to Chicago shortly beforehis death. He was an important teacher as well. Among his students (in 1863) was E.C. Messer, who became one of D.C.’s most prominent painters and teachers.

Baumgras first studied at the Düsseldorf Academy, and then went on to enroll at the Munich Royal Academy where he worked closely with Freidrich Kaulbach and Karl Schorn.[1] In 1853, shortly after his twenty-fifth birthday, Baumgras immigrated to the United States, settling in Syracuse, New York. <br style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" /><br style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" /><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; float: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; display: inline !important; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Peter Baumgras’ career as anartist launched shortly after his marriage to Mary Thomson in 1856, when the couple decided to move to Washington, D.C. Shortly after the onset of the Civil War, Baumgras enlisted in the Union Army, where he initially served as a surgical draftsman, then went on to assume the position of Assistant Professor of Drawing at the United States Naval Academy.[2] His involvement in several social clubs connected Braumgras with the most important members of Washington’s art world; he was invited to join the Literary Society of Washington and the Society of Washington Artists, and in 1859 was asked to exhibit at the Washington Art Association. The level of skill and magnificent coloring demonstrated in his still life paintings garnered the attention of the faculty at both the Columbian College (now George Washington University) and Gallaudet University, resulting in brief tenures at each institution as the resident Professor of Art. <br style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" /><br style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" /><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; float: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; display: inline !important; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Baumgras spent a short time in California during the early 1870s, which distinctly impacted his artistic style; <em style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; background: #ffffff; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; outline-width: 0px; text-align: justify; outline-style: none; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: normal; outline-color: invert; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; border: 0px; padding: 0px;">Yosemite Valley</em><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; float: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; display: inline !important; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> (1879), his largest landscape painting, and <em style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; background: #ffffff; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; outline-width: 0px; text-align: justify; outline-style: none; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: normal; outline-color: invert; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; border: 0px; padding: 0px;">Bighorn Sheep</em><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; float: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; display: inline !important; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> (1875) depict western landscapes infused with brightened colors and light. In 1877, Baumgras revisited Washington, D.C., where he once again participated in the growing art scene by contributing to the creation of the Washington Arts Club, which was founded with the intent to cultivate the fine arts and promote social interaction among its members.[3] <br style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" /><br style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" /><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; float: none; font-weight: 400; color: #252525; font-style: normal; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; display: inline !important; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">In 1877, Baumgras relocated permanently to Chicago, where he remained active for several years.

He also enjoyed success at the Chicago Interstate Industrial Exposition, were his works were exhibited in 1885 and 1887.[4] Upon his return to Washington in 1900, Baumgras submitted himself to be considered for a curatorial position at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and justified his qualification by his wide range of experience and interaction with the “history of art and the leading artists of the past half-century of this country and art abroad.”[5] <br style="font-size: medium;
