Aaron Draper Shattuck
(1832–1928)
Aaron Draper Shattuck was born in Francestown, New Hampshire, attended public school there and in Massachusettes; and, when he was 19, began studying landscape and portrait painting in Boston. The following year he moved to New York and enrolled at the National Academy of Design. By 1854, he was selling a few of his paintings; and in 1856, when he was just 24, he was elected an associate member of the National Academy. Shattuck was an astute businessman as well as an accomplished painter: he left an estate of more than half a million dollars in 1928, at a time when that sort of money was very rare in the painters' world. At his death, he had not painted with any regularity for many years. He had been stricken simultaneously with measles and pneumonia at age 56, and when he recovered, he turned to other interests - including the making of violins. At his death, he was the oldest living Academician in the National Academy.
