BUTLER, George Bernand, artist, born in New York city, 8 February, 1838. His father, of the same name, and his uncle Charles were both well-known lawyers. He began under Thomas Hicks to study painting, and in 1859 spent some time in Thomas Couture's studio in Paris. In the autumn of 1860 he returned to the United States and served in the National army during the civil war, losing an arm at the battle of Gettysburg. He returned to Europe in 1865 and devoted himself to painting animals, also studying with Otto Weber. For two years he continued his work under Conture at Senlis, and spent the winter of 1867-'8 in Italy. He then returned to this country, but in 1873 visited Europe again, and was during the ten following years in Italy, chiefly in Rome and Venice. At this time he met James A. M. Whistler, who exerted very great influence on his work. Since 1883 he has been engaged principally in portraiture. In 1873 he was elected a National academician. His paintings include " The Shepherd and Dogs on the Campagna"; " The Capri Rose," purchased by Alexander T. Stewart; " The Lace-Maker" ; " An Italian Peasant" ; and several striking groups of animals.
