Ferdinand Joachim Richardt was born in 1819 in Brede (seeland), Denmark. He died 1895 in Oakland, CA. Richardt trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Art, and was known in his native counrty for architectural and landscape views of important castles and ancient manor houses. The artist's first four year American sojourn from 1855 to 1859 in thirty-two large paintings of Niagara Falls, for which he is best known in America. In january of 1859, following extensive sletching trips by boat canal, steamer, and rail throughout the eastern half of North America, Richardt mounted his Gallery of Paintings of American Scenery at New York's national Academy of Design. Among other
views, the exhibition included paintings of Grace Church on lower Broadway in New York; the Hudson River; Cape May, New Jersey; the white White Mountains of New Hampshire; the upper reaches of the Mississippi River; Virginia's natural Bridge; and, significantly, six paintings depicting Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, noted in the catalogue as "the first collection of views from this wonderful cave, ever exhibited." Returning to Copenhagen, Richardt exhibited his American collection in 1860, later traveling in Italy and England. Finally, in 1873 he immigrated to the United States, stopping at Niagara Falls and settling in California. There he was drawn to coastal scenery, to redwood forests and mountains, including Yosemite valley, and to city views of San Francisco and Oakland. During the last twenty years of his life he exhibited and sold works to the public, and taught drawing and painting. His paintings are part of the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; New York Historical Society; Oakland Museum of California; Smithsonian American Art Museum; The White House; RW Norton Art Museum, Shreveport; Minnesota Historical Society; Heckscher Museum, Long Island, NY; and De Young Museum, CA.
