William Matthew Prior Wall Decorations
William Matthew Prior was an American folk artist known for his portraits, particularly of families and children. The son of Captain William, a shipmaster, and Sarah Bryant Prior, Prior was born in Bath, Maine. Prior completed his first portrait in 1823, at the age of 17, after training under Charles Codman, another Maine-based painter. In 1840, Prior moved to East Boston, Massachusetts, from his native Bath with his in-laws, notably fellow painter Sturtevant J. Hamblin, to invigorate his career as an artist. The paintings of Prior and Hamblin, when unsigned, are so similar in style as to be indistinguishable and are commonly attributed to the Prior-Hamblin School.
