Eliphalet Frazer Andrews (June 11, 1835 – March 15, 1915), an American painter known primarily every bit a portraitist, established an art instruction curriculum at the behest of William Wilson Corcoran at his Corcoran School of Art, and served as its director, 1877–1902. He received many commissions to create both original portraits and copies of images of deceased famous Americans, which are displayed past federal, state, and local institutions. His art is housed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum,^[1] the Ohio State Capitol,^[2] and numerous paintings at The White Business firm^[iii] and the The states Capitol.^[four]

Early on life [edit]

Born in Steubenville, Ohio, to Dr. Alexander Hull^[5] and Eliza Ann (Frazer) Andrews,^[6] he received early on training at Marietta Higher in Ohio, and further study in the Royal Prussian University, Berlin, in the atelier of Ludwig Knaus, at the Düsseldorf Academy and with Leon Bonnat at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris.^[7]

Career [edit]

Andrews' portrait of Mary French Howard, 1908. Howard was the spouse of Clarance Randolph Howard. This original portrait is ane of the only known surviving deputed paintings by Andrews of a non-political or military official.

Post-obit the election of his friend Rutherford B. Hayes as President^[8] Andrews moved to Washington, D.C.^[9]

William Wilson Corcoran hired Andrews to establish an fine art pedagogy curriculum at his Corcoran School of Art. Andrews served as its director, 1877–1902, and later as the Corcoran Art Gallery until his death. Pupils included Catharine Carter Critcher^[10] and Daisy Blanche Male monarch.^[11]

Several federal regime agencies, generally through the Architect of the Capitol, Edward Clark, commissioned Andrews to make copies of existing portraits.^[9] Thus, several of his portraits, are in The White House drove, including posthumous total-length portraits of Martha Washington (illustration), Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Johnson.^[12] His Poppies ^[thirteen] and Edge of a Stream ^[14] are at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Erstwhile Kentucky Lieutenant Governor John C. Underwood, President of the United Amalgamated Veterans, deputed Andrews to make xx portraits of prominent Confederates for a proposed Confederate Museum in Richmond, Virginia.^[15] The project was embroiled in litigation, and eleven paintings were sold in 1910 for unpaid storage fees by a Covington, Kentucky warehouse. Most ended up in Virginia (such as that of Gen. Robert E. Lee in the Westmoreland Canton Courthouse), simply three are in the collection of the Kentucky Museum at Western Kentucky University.^[sixteen] The Confederate Memorial Association, led past Virginia lieutenant governor James Taylor Ellyson and financed by Thomas Fortune Ryan did build its headquarters (the Confederate Memorial Institute a/1000/a "Battle Abbey") in Richmond, which is at present the Virginia Historical Society. Perhaps the most famous paintings therein are the "Four Seasons of the Confederacy" murals by Charles Hoffbauer.

Clarance Randolph Howard,^[17] son of Major William Key Howard^[xviii] of the Amalgamated States of America, cracking-grand-nephew of Francis Scott Key, and cracking-grandson of John Eager Howard^[19] (U.S. Senator and Governor of Maryland), deputed Eliphalet Frazer Andrews to complete a portrait of his wife (shown here), Mary French Howard, in 1908. This is one of the few known remaining original portraits by the artist of a not-political or military machine official.

Personal life [edit]

In 1895 Andrews married Marietta Fauntleroy Minnigerode (1869–1932). She was the daughter of Charles Ernest Frederick Minnigerode (1816–1891), rector of St. Paul's Church building in Richmond, Virginia, and she was active in the Daughters of the Confederacy. E. F. Andrews was a member of the Metropolitan Club in Washington, D.C.

Death and legacy [edit]

Andrews died in Washington, D.C. on March 15, 1915, and his remains were returned to Steubenville, Ohio.^[20] In 1917, his widow presented his portrait of Amalgamated General Nathan Bedford Forrest to the Confederate Memorial in Chattanooga, Tennessee.^{[21] [22]}
