Henry Inman (October 20, 1801 – January 17, 1846) was an American portrait, genre, and landscape painter. ==Biography== He was born at Utica, N.Y., and was for seven years an apprentice pupil of John Wesley Jarvis in New York City, along with John Quidor. He was the first vice president of the National Academy of Design. He excelled in portrait painting, but was less careful in genre pictures. Among his landscapes are ''Rydal Falls, England'', ''October Afternoon'', and ''Ruins of Brambletye''. His genre subjects include ''Rip Van Winkle'', ''The News Boy'', and ''Boyhood of Washington''. His portraits include those of Henry Rutgers and Fitz-Greene Halleck in the New York Historical Society. He also painted portraits of Angelica Singleton Van Buren, Bishop White, Chief Justices Marshall and Nelson, Jacob Barker, William Wirt, Audubon, DeWitt Clinton, Martin Van Buren, and William H. Seward. Thomas L. McKenney assigned Inman, who was an accomplished lithographer, the task of copying more than a hundred oil paintings of Native American leaders by Charles Bird King to translate into a printed book, the History of the Indian Tribes of North America. The oil paintings are now in the collections of White House, the Joslyn Art Museum, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, among others. In the Metropolitan Museum, New York, are his ''Martin Van Buren'', ''The Young Fisherman'', and ''William C. Maccready as William Tell'' During a year spent in England in 1844–1845, he painted Wordsworth, Macaulay, John Chambers, Sir William Stewart, Baronet of Blair and other celebrities. He returned to America in failing health, and at the time of his death, January 17, 1846, was engaged on a series of historical pictures for the Capitol at Washington. Among his pupils was the portraitist and still life painter Thomas Wightman. Image:Inman.JPG|Portrait of David Vanon, oil on panel (1832–33). A member of the Cherokee tribe.
