Hamilton Hamilton, a re-known painter of the American landscape, was born in Oxford, England in 1847. He emigrated with his family to Cowlesville, New York, a community near Buffalo, however spent most of his childhood in Connecticut. He was a predominantly self-taught artist, although he studied in Paris in 1870 and traveled throughout Europe. However, he spent much of his time painting the American West in which many of his most unique works came from. The colorful Impressionistic-like landscapes were chosen as entries at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Hamilton returned to France in 1878-79 and painted with artists identified with the Barbizon School and plein-air method of painting. He was a member of the National Academy of Design and one of the founders of the Silvermine Guild of Artists in Connecticut.
