Charles W. Knapp, American, (1823-1900). Charles Knapp executed many scenes in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. At least two other scenes painted by Knapp of Mt. Washington have been recorded for the artist in Campbell's book, "New Hampshire Scenery", one from North Conway and the other on the Peabody River. The Peabody River starts from the eastern slope of Mt. Washington and flows east into the Androscoggin River and eventually to the Kennebec in Maine. The Ammonoosuc River starts on the western slopes of Mt. Washington and flows west. Mount Washington was a highly documented landmark, and Knapp's desire to paint views from all sides would make sense for this artist. Charles Knapp was born in Philadelphia in 1823 and he died in that city in 1900. He first exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York City in 1859, at which time his address is listed as New York City. Although Knapp painted many scenes in the Pennsylvania area, he also painted extensively in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where he became associated with many of the White Mountain artists of the day. Catherine Campbell lists Knapp's paintings extensively in the authoritative dictionary of New Hampshire artists "New Hampshire Scenery". In 1878 Knapp exhibited two New Hampshire views at the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics Association in Boston. Knapp also exhibited many of his New Hampshire views at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts between 1877 and 1887. A number of paintings by Charles Knapp are included in the collection of the New Hampshire Historical Society as well as in the Dartmouth College Art Galleries and in numerous private collections throughout the country.
