William Henry Rinehart
William Henry Rinehart (September 13, 1825, Union Bridge, Maryland - October 28, 1874, Rome, Italy) was a noted American sculptor. He is considered "the last important American sculptor to work in the classical style."〔(Carnegie Museum )〕
==Biography==
The son of Israel Rinehart (1792-1871) and Mary Rinehart (1797-1865), William Henry Rinehart was born near Union Bridge, Maryland, where he attended school until he was nearly eighteen. He then began to work on his father's farm, but also became the assistant of a stone-cutter in the neighborhood. In 1844 he began an apprenticeship in the stone-yard of Baughman and Bevan on the site of what is now The Peabody Institute in Baltimore, and studied sculpture at what is now called the Maryland Institute College of Art.
In 1855 Rinehart went to Italy to continue his studies. While there he executed two bas-reliefs in marble, ''Morning'' and ''Evening''. On his return, two years later, he opened a studio in Baltimore, where he executed numerous busts, a fountain-figure for the main U.S. Post Office in Washington, DC; and two bronze figures, ''Backwoodsman'' and ''Indian'', flanking the clock in the House of Representatives Chamber of the U.S. Capitol. In 1858 he settled in Rome where he would live the rest of his life, except for trips back to the United States in 1866 and 1872. Rinehart is buried in Baltimore's renowned Green Mount Cemetery.
