About the Item
John Henry Dolph, best known as painter of domestic animals, especially cats, was born in 1835 in Fort Ann, New York. In 1841 Dolph's family moved to Ohio and in 1849 Dolph began an apprenticeship as a carriage painter in Columbus. Beginning around 1855, Dolph worked in Cleveland and Detroit as a portrait and landscape painter. Moving to New York City around 1865, he attracted attention with his scenes of American rural life, especially farm genre and animal life. Dolph studied in Paris and Antwerp, where Louis van Kuyck tutored him in animal painting, particularly horses. Beginning in 1875 Dolph devoted himself exclusively to the painting dogs and cats and was described as the “leading cat painter in America” in the September 1894 issue of Quarterly Illustrator. He was also referred to as the "Landseer of America" after Sir Edwin Landseer, a British artist. Dolph exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association, National Academy of Designs, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Paris Salon, Art Institute of Chicago, among others. Dolph lived in the Sherwood Studio Building which was the first apartment building in New York City designed specifically for artists. He also kept a country home on Long Island. He was a member of the National Academy of Design and the Lotus, Salmagundi, and Kit Kat clubs. He exhibited and won a medal at the Pan-American Expo in 1901 in Buffalo.
Dolph's work is in the Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, Nebraska and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
