Whittredge

Whittredge studied in Dusseldorf, Germany where he learned about this school's traditions of dramatic story telling (called the Romantic style) and their interest in past history.  Often this was shown in intricate details.

Can you see this in the painting here?

Do you think this painting shows the influence from the Dusseldorf school?

Do you think that Whittredge was interested in the American west?
