Sarah W. Whitman
Sarah de St. Prix Wyman Whitman (1842–1904) was an American artist and illustrator, stained glass designer, and author. As a member of the Board of the Harvard University "Annex," she helped to found Radcliffe College.
==Early years==
Sarah Wyman was born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1842 to banker William Wyman and Sarah Amanda Treat. She had one brother, Charles (1845-1911), who suffered from mental illness and was institutionalized in about 1882. By her third birthday, the family moved her to Baltimore, Maryland, in the aftermath of her father's involvement in a bank scandal;〔"Old-Time New England" Spring/Summer 1999〕 she spent her early childhood there with her wealthy Wyman relatives. When she turned 11, in 1853, she moved back to Lowell, where she was educated by tutors.〔http://www.askart.com/askart/artist.aspx?artist=20582〕〔http://bwht.org/whitman〕 At such an early age, Whitman developed a passion for learning. This passionate personality would soon become one of the pioneers in equal opportunity for women. At the age of 24, she married Henry Whitman, a prosperous wool merchant, and moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Subsequently, the Whitmans maintained a lively salon in a spacious townhouse on the crest of Beacon Hill in Boston.〔"Stained Glass Pragmatism" by Francis G. Hutchins, January 2009〕 They summered on the Beverly Farms, an exclusive section of Boston's North Shore. ()
Whitman began her artistic training at the age of 26 in Boston with William Morris Hunt from 1869-1871; then in 1877 went to Paris for a year to study with Thomas Couture at Villiers-le-Bel. Within a decade, Whitman was well established, designing book covers and book illustrations and stained glass windows, and had her own studio, the Lily Glass Works, at 184 Boylston Street, Boston.〔"Annual New Gallery exhibition of contemporary American art, 1st Edition" (Nov. 21 – Dec. 18, 1900)〕 She traveled widely, exhibiting at the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
