Biography:
Erastus Dow Palmer was a self-taught artist who spent the majority of his life in his hometown of Albany, New York. Despite his reluctance to travel, he became a successful sculptor and the most famous sculptor of his generation who did not study and work in Europe. He made a career creating portrait busts and religious bas-reliefs. His most famous sculpture is the White Captive, which depicted a young girl who has been captures by Indians but is saved by her Christian faith. In the 1860’s, Palmer began fashioning his sculptures out of bronze rather than wood.
