American Realist Painter, 1811-1879. American painter. Raised in rural Franklin County, MO, Bingham experienced from an early age the scenes on the major western rivers, the Missouri and the Mississippi, that inspired his development as a major genre painter. During his apprenticeship to a cabinetmaker, he met the itinerant portrait painter Chester Harding, who turned Bingham's attention to art. Teaching himself to draw and compose from art instruction books and engravings, the only resources available in the frontier territories, Bingham began painting portraits as early as 1834.   Related Paintings of Bingham, George Caleb :. | The Rooks Have Returned | Fatma la chanteuse (mk32) | Emperor Maximilian i with his family | Stilleben mit Romer, Krebsen und Zitronen | The Expulsion of Adam and Eve From the Garden |
