Born in Evans Creek, Ohio, in 1836, Alexander Wyant began his career as a topographical landscape painter along the Ohio River.

14 William Bradford (American, ) The Frigate U.S.S. Congress at Sunset, Possibly Boston Harbor Unsigned, London artist supplies label on the reverse. Oil on board, 18 x 24 in. (45.7 x 60.9 cm), framed. Condition: Scattered retouch, surface grime, loss to sky u.c. and several tiny losses near edges, craquelure with several areas of flaking in the vicinity of the losses. N.B. The main vessel, probably the forty-four-gun frigate USS Congress, is very closely related to a Bradford drawing, number 26, in the Charles H. Taylor Collection of the Hart Nautical Collections at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts. In a letter discussing this work, Erik A.R. Ronnberg, Jr. states that some of the details of the stern differ from the original designs for the vessel: The arrangement of the gunports in the stern and the styles of carving and decorative moldings are very different, but that could be expected over a ship s 23-year career Bradford probably saw the Congress in Boston, in which case she would have been moored off the navy yard in Charlestown. He goes on to point out that some of the geography of the work does not support this idea, but that the removal of the surface grime may reveal further details that clarify any discrepancies. The Congress was in Boston in late August and early September of This corresponds to the date of the painting, and thus the identity of the vessel. We are grateful to Dr. Richard Kugler and Eric A.R. Ronnberg, Jr., for their assistance in cataloging this work. $75, ,
