Raphaelle Peale Biography

(b Annapolis, MD, 17 Feb 1774; d Philadelphia, PA, 5 March 1825). Painter, son of (1) Charles Willson Peale. His mother was Rachel Brewer Peale. He studied painting with his father and assisted him in the museum. Raphaelle began to paint portraits professionally in 1794, but poor patronage in Philadelphia forced him to travel in the South and New England, taking silhouettes with the physiognotrace and painting portraits in oil and miniature. From about 1815 onwards, bouts of alcoholism and gout inhibited his progress. He turned to painting still-lifes, but these sold for small amounts. The need to travel weakened an already debilitated constitution and contributed to his early death.
