John Lewis Krimmel was the first professional artist in the United States to base his reputation on the genre subject. The author's study documents the artist's career from three points of view: Krimmel's life in Europe and the United States from his birth in 1786 to his drowning in 1821; an analysis of his surviving works; and an interpretation of his relationship to contemporary American esthetic and intellectual movements.
