Richard Caton Woodville
Richard Caton Woodville (30 April 1825 – 13 August 1855) was an American artist from Baltimore who spent his professional career in Europe, after studying in Düsseldorf under the direction of Karl Ferdinand Sohn.
He died of an overdose of morphine in London at the age of 30. He was the father of Richard Caton Woodville, Jr., also a noted artist.〔 He had a short but intense career, which he produced fewer than 20 paintings; they were well known in their time through exhibition and prints and have remained prominent in the canon of American painters.
== Early Life and Training ==
Woodville was the eldest son born to a prominent Baltimore family.〔 He displayed early promise in caricatures of his teachers. He attended the University of Maryland Medical School for one year. Woodville would likely have been exposed to the expansive private collection of Baltimore art collector Robert Gilmor Jr.〔Elizabeth Johns and Paul Usherwood. "Woodville." ''Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online.'' 17 Jul. 2011〕
In 1845 Woodville exhibited and sold his first painting, ''Two Figures at a Stove'', in the annual exhibition at the National Academy of Design in New York.〔 At the age of 20, he left Baltimore with his new wife, Mary Theresa Buckler, for the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Germany, where he was formally enrolled for one year. He remained in Düsseldorf for the next six years (1845–1851) studying with instructor and portrait painter Karl Ferdinand Sohn. The Düsseldorf Academy was a popular place of training for American artists in the mid-19th century, known as the Düsseldorf school of painting. Well-known American painters who spent time in Düsseldorf at the same time as Woodville include, Emanuel Leutze, Worthington Whittredge, John Whetton Ehninger, and Eastman Johnson. Under Sohn's guidance, Woodville developed a technique that was praised for its attention to detail and color. From Düsseldorf, Woodville sent paintings back to the United States to be exhibited primarily at the American Art-Union.〔
