John Vanderlyn was an American neoclassicist painter. He was born at Kingston, New York. He was first instructed in art by Archibald Robinson (1765-1835), a Scotsman who was afterwards one of the directors of the American Academy of Fine Arts. He went to Philadelphia where he spent time in studio of Gilbert Stuart and copied some of Gilbert Stuart portraits including one of Aaron Burr who placed him under Gilbert Stuart as pupil. Vanderlyn painted eminent men, including George Washington, James Monroe, John C. Calhoun, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, and Zachary Taylor. Vanderlyn was the first American to study in France instead of England and to acquire accurate draughtsmanship.
