Edward Wellmore

Edward Wellmore was an artist documented as active around 1800. While specific biographical details, such as nationality or primary medium, are not recorded in existing art historical databases, the artist is established through institutional holdings in the United States.

Thirteen of Wellmore’s works are represented in museum collections. A significant focus of the artist’s output documented across these institutions is portraiture, specifically multiple representations of Major General Arthur St Clair. The work, titled Major General Arthur St Clair (or slight variations thereof), accounts for five distinct listings across the databases, suggesting either repeated execution of the subject or the distribution of the work across different media or institutions.

The artist’s work is held in major institutional collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago. Given the early date of execution, reproductions of Edward Wellmore prints and other works are frequently available in the public domain. Modern accessibility allows for the creation of museum-quality, high-quality prints of these historical images, often through free art collections.
