Rembrandt Peale

Rembrandt Peale was the son of Philadelphia artist and museum proprietor Charles Willson Peale. The Peale children were encouraged to be artists: Rembrandt's siblings were named Rubens, Raphaelle, Titian Ramsay, Sofonisba Anguissola, and Angelica Kauffmann. He began painting at thirteen, and he continued to work prolifically for the next seventy years. Rembrandt also assisted in the management of the family enterprise: from 1813 to 1822 he established and managed the Peale Museum in Baltimore.
