James McDougal Hart Biography

(b Kilmarnock, Strathclyde, 10 May 1828; d Brooklyn, NY, 24 Oct 1901). American painter of Scottish birth. He moved to America with his family in 1831. He grew up in Albany, NY, where he and his older brother, William Hart (1823–94), also a painter, were apprenticed to a coachmaker as decorators. He produced some amateur portraits during this time and cultivated his natural talent for landscape painting. In 1850 he went to study in Munich and Düsseldorf, where his principal teacher was Johann Wilhelm Schirmer; in 1853 he returned to Albany, exhibiting for the first time at the National Academy of Design, New York. By 1857 he had established himself in New York, and he lived there for the rest of his life.
