Arthur Parton was born on March 26, 1842 in Hudson, Columbia County, New York, United States. He was the fourth of the twelve children of George Parton of Birmingham, England, who settled, quite by chance, in Hudson, and of Elizabeth Woodbridge Parton of Mystic (now Old Mystic), Connecticut. His father, from whom he undoubtedly inherited his artistic talents, was a cabinetmaker by trade. His mother came from a distinguished Massachusetts and Connecticut family, being a descendant of the eighth generation from Rev. John Woodbridge of Stanton, Wiltshire, whose son, Rev. John Woodbridge of Newbury, Massachussets, married Mercy Dudley, the daughter of Governor Dudley of Massachusetts Bay Colony. Young Parton began to draw and paint while still a schoolboy.
Education
From 1859 to 1861, Arthur Parton studied with William T. Richards of Philadelphia and later at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts at that city. His first picture was exhibited there in 1862.
Career
In 1865 Arthur Parton removed to New York, established a studio, and became a regular exhibitor at the National Academy of Design. In 1869 he left for Europe, studying a short while in Paris, but receiving most of his inspiration direct from English and Scottish scenery and from the contemporary landscape painters of those countries. A year after his return to New York in 1871 he was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design, becoming a full academician in 1884. He was an indefatigable worker and his production of landscapes, all of them easel pictures, correspondingly great. He spent his summers in the Adirondacks and later in the Catskills, where he had a small cottage.
Parton followed the traditional English landscape practices as modified by the Hudson River school. His work falls below that of his friends Alexander H. Wyant and J. Francis Murphy. In his more romantic aspects it recalls, at times, that of Blakelock and Innis; but for the most part his work is realistic, objective, and, to a later generation, quite out of fashion. He worked hard and exhibited regularly, being represented in most of the larger exhibitions from the Centennial in Philadelphia of 1876 to that of St. Louis twenty-eight years later. Trout fishing was one of his few recreations. He settled in Yonkers, New York, where he lived for some thirty years. Arthur Parton was buried at Mystic, Connecticut.
