1) Martin Johnson Heade, born in Lumberville, Pennsylvania on August 11, 1819 to September 4, 1904 (aged 85), was an American painter known for his salt marsh landscapes, seascapes, & nature depictions.

2) Heade received his first art training from the folk artist Edward Hicks, who lived in nearby Newtown, and possibly also from Edward's cousin, Thomas Hicks. He was painting by 1839.

3) He travelled to Europe several times as a young man, became an itinerant artist on American shores, and exhibited in Philadelphia at the PAFA in 1841 and in New York at the NAD in 1843.

4) Friendships with artists of the Hudson River School led to an interest in landscape art. In 1863, he planned to publish a volume of Brazilian hummingbirds & tropical flowers, but it was abandoned.

5) His chief works from this period were Floridian landscapes & flowers, particularly magnolias laid upon velvet cloth. His work attracted scholars, art historians, & collectors during the 1940s.

6) His works are in most major American museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City; and the National Gallery of Art in D.C.
