A painter in the tradition of the Hudson River School, led by Thomas Cole and Albert Bierstadt, Jesse Talbot was a landscape, portrait and figure painter. From 1844 to 1847, he lived in Patterson, New Jersey, his birthplace. From 1865 to 1873 he was in New York City, and then lived in Roundout, New York, and Hartford, Connecticut.
In Talbot's landscape paintings he, adhering to the tenets of the Hudson River School group, strove to express spirituality through landscape imagery. Much of his inspiration came from the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Recognizing the cultural distinction Talbot had brought to that region, curators of the Saco Museum of Saco, Maine in 2009 had an exhibition that included him.
Titled "A Treasured Ten: A Decade of Collecting at the Saco Museum", it was a tribute to the artistic tradition of the Saco River Valley, which connected Maine's coast to the New Hampshire White Mountains. Promotional text read: "From fantastical scenes to sensitive portraiture, these paintings demonstrate the breadth of influence and subject matter embraced by our 19th-century artists." Talbot's entry was a luminous landscape, Tropical Scenery, Early Morning dated 1850.
A painting by Jesse Talbot titled Minnehaha Falls indicates he also traveled to the northwest and was in the Minneapolis area of Minnesota. However, the work is undated so it is not possible to trace his steps by using this work.

Jesse Talbot (April 1, 1805 – January 29/30, 1879) was an American landscape painter and a friend of the poet Walt Whitman.
Born in Dighton, Massachusetts, Talbot worked for the American Tract Society and other evangelical Christian organizations in New York City before becoming a professional artist, first exhibiting in the National Academy of Design in 1838.
His work was often favorably compared to that of Thomas Cole and other leaders of the Hudson River School of American landscape painters. Talbot developed a friendship with Walt Whitman in the 1850s. The notebook in which Whitman first wrote down the ideas for Leaves of Grass is known as the “Talbot Wilson notebook” because Talbot’s name and address (Wilson Street in Brooklyn, New York) are written on the inside front cover. Talbot died in relative obscurity in 1879.
