Letter 7 : Emanuel Leutze to Chilton

Letter from Emanuel Leutze to Chilton asking about a drawing. Seems to be a follow up about a project Leutze was completing.

It is probable that Emanuel Leutze was Emanuel Leutze (1816-05-24 – 1868-07-15), director of the Washington Art Association. Leutze was raised in Philedelphia, and developed a skill for art while attending the sick bed of his father. He painted portraits of American statesman, and his work includes “Washington Crossing the Delaware” and other works which depict scenes from the American Revolution. His goal was for the Capitol to be decorated with art depicting the history of America. He was commissioned in 1860 to paint a mural for the staircase in the Capitol building. The result was “Westward the Course of Empire Takes It’s Way” which still hangs in the West Stairway of the House Wing of the U.S. Capitol Building.

Confirmation by e-mail from the DC History Center Archive (regarding https://dchistory.catalogaccess.com/archives/103444) that R. S. Chilton and E. Leutz had communicated before, confirming that these are probably the same people.
