William Stanley Haseltine Biography

(b Philadelphia, PA, 11 June 1835; d Rome, 3 Feb 1900). American painter. He was the son of a successful merchant and brother of the sculptor James H. Haseltine (1833–1907) and the art dealer Charles F. Haseltine (1840–1915). In 1850 William Stanley Haseltine enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; after two years he transferred to Harvard College, Cambridge, MA, graduating in 1854. He first formally studied painting in that year on his return to Philadelphia, working with Paul Weber (1823–1916). Haseltine went abroad to Düsseldorf in 1855, where he became friends with his compatriots Albert Bierstadt, Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze and Worthington Whittredge. He painted throughout Europe for the next three years, returning from Italy to the USA in late 1858. He was established in the Tenth Street Studio Building in New York by the winter of 1859 and played an active role in the city’s art world, exhibiting at the Century and Salmagundi clubs and at the National Academy of Design, of which he was an associate by 1860 and an academician in 1861. During the years of the Civil War (from which he was exempt due to a chronic eye ailment), Haseltine journeyed repeatedly to the rocky Atlantic coastline of New England to sketch scenes of sea and shore that form the basis of his strongest work, for example Indian Rock, Narragansett, Rhode Island (1863; San Francisco, CA, de Young Mem. Mus.).
