painting
by
artist
Charles
Sullivan
depicts
a
farm
near
the
Miamisburg
Mound
in
Montgomery
County
,
Ohio
. The
Miamisburg
Mound
is
the
largest
conical
burial
mound
in
Ohio
and
possibly
in the
eastern
United
States
.
Archaeological
investigations
of the
surrounding
area
suggest
that
it
was
constructed
by the
prehistoric
Adena
Indians
(800
B.C.-A.D
.
100)
.
Built
on a
100-foot-high
bluff
, the
mound
measures
877
feet
(267.3
m)
in
circumference
.
It
was
originally
more
than
70
feet
(21.33
m)
high
.
Charles
Sullivan
(1794-1867)
was
born
in
Frankfort
,
Pennsylvania
. His
family
moved
to
Wheeling
,
Virginia
(now
West
Virginia)
and then to
Marietta
,
Ohio
in
1833
. He
studied
art
in
Philadelphia
and was a
friend
and
student
of the
painter
Thomas
Sully
.
Although
Sullivan
painted
portraits
throughout
his
artistic
career
,
landscapes
were his
specialty
.
Sullivan's
landscape
style
has been
associated
with the
Hudson
River
School
of
painting
.
Both
in
Wheeling
and in
Marietta
, he
produced
numerous
paintings
of the
river
area
of
southeastern
Ohio
and what
is
now
western
West
Virginia
. His
historical
views
of
Marietta
and the
mound
earthworks
located
there,
however
, are
some
of his
most
important
. These
paintings
provide
documents
of
early
Ohio
settlement
,
some
colored
by
stories
told
to him by
early
Washington
County
settlers
, and
some
painted
as he
saw
them in an
era
before
photography
was
commonplace
.
Sullivan
made
Marietta
his
home
until
his
death
at the
age
of
seventy-three
.
