About Jesse Talbot

  • Biography

    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.
