for Clinton Ogilvie
1838 - 1900
Ogilvie studied landscape painting with James M. Hart. His education was augmented with visits to John Frederick Kensett's studio. In 1866, he traveled to Paris to continue his studies. By 1868, he was again in New York. Four years later, he again visited Europe for a short time. Ogilvie's last recorded trip began in 1879. He spent about four years in Europe, mostly France, where he often wintered in Nice. His landscapes reveal that he also visited Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, and Bermuda.
In spite of his extensive exposure to Europe, Ogilvie's landscape style retained its distinctively American precision and descriptive detail. He first exhibited at the Academy in 1861 and continued to show there in almost every year until his death. He also exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, and at the Boston Athenaeum. His wife, Helen Slade, was also an artist. Their daughter, Ida Helen Ogilive, was a well-known geologist and teacher.
