John Quidor was born on January 26, 1801 in Tappan, New York, United States. He was the son of Peter and Maria (Smith) Quidor.
In 1826 John moved to New York City and was for a short time a pupil of John Wesley Jarvis and a friend of Henry Inman.
John Quidor began his professional life, as did many other artists at that period, as a coach painter, earning a precarious livelihood by decorating stage coaches and fire engines. Then he took up portrait work, but few examples have been identified, and it is probable that he did not meet with much encouragement. Quidor is mentioned in the New York directories from 1828 to 1833 as a portrait painter, and from 1828 to 1839 he exhibited pictures in the National Academy of Design. For a time he lived on a farm near Quincy, Illinois, but in 1851 he returned to New York. He is best known for his paintings illustrative of scenes from the books of Washington Irving. He was a personal friend of the author, whose History of New York by Diedrich Knickerbocker furnished him with subjects for a series of large pictures, several of which became the property of Col. Henry T. Chapman of New York.
Four of these works were shown in the first exhibition of the Brooklyn Museum, in 1897, and remained there for fourteen years: "Peter Studyvesant Watching the Festivities on the Battery, " "The Vigilant Stuyvesant's Wall Street Gate", "Peter Stuyvesant's Journey up the Hudson, " and "The Voyage to Hell Gate from Communipaw. " Chapman also owned "Ichabod Crane Pursued by the Headless Horseman. " The Chapman collection was sold in New York in 1913, but Quidor's pictures fetched insignificant prices.
A number of his works were also in the collection of Joseph Harrison, Jr. , of Philadelphia. These represented episodes in tales by Irving, such as "The Return of Rip Van Winkle, " "Scene at the Village Tavern, " "The Revellers, " and "The Fright. "Perhaps the most typical example is "The Return of Rip Van Winkle, " which was first seen at the National Academy of Design in 1839 and was later acquired by Thomas B. Clarke. It hung in the Pennsylvania Museum of Art at Philadelphia from 1928 to 1931. He died on December 13, 1881 in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States.
