British and Scottish Models for the American Genre Paintings of John Lewis Krimmel

German immigrant painter John Lewis Krimmel, America's first genre artist, was influenced, at least initially, by English artists such as William Hogarth and Scottish painters such as David Wilkie. Krimmel is documented to have painted a picture titled The Village Politicians, but in order to determine whether an unsigned canvas depicting Wilkie's Village Politicians, which was found in the New Orleans area in 2001, is Krimmel's slightly Americanized version of the famous Scottish scene, Krimmel scholar Dr. Anneliese Harding traces the Philadelphia‐based painter's development and finds direct influences of Wilkie and other British and Scottish painters' work on Krimmel's original designs.
