Artist Biography

Conrad Wise Chapman (1842-1910), American

 

     Conrad Wise Chapman, the son and pupil of painter John Gadsby Chapman, established his professional reputation as a painter of Civil War scenes. After the war, he lived for varying periods of time in Mexico, where he painted numerous views of the Valley of Mexico, a subject that proved popular throughout his career. In this painting, the snow-capped peaks of Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl rise in the distance above the Lake of Texcoco. Beyond the herd of goats stands the tile factory of W. R. Jolly of Manchester, England. This work is a later, smaller version of a painting of the valley and tile factory that Jolly commissioned Chapman to paint in 1865.
