Charles De Wolf Brownell
American, 1822 - 1909
Brownell seems to have stopped exhibiting after 1865. This may be explained by the fact that immediately after the Civil War, Brownell and his fiancée, Henrietta Pierce, left New York for Bristol, Rhode Island, and were married shortly thereafter. Brownell remained based in Bristol until 1871, when he and his family left for a seven-year excursion to Europe. The Brownells returned to Bristol in 1878, but Brownell continued traveling until the last years of his life. In the 1880s, he toured the Caribbean, and in 1888, he made a visit to Church at Olana, Church's famous estate in Hudson, New York. In the 1890s, Brownell traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, Venezuela, and Chile. He only slowed down in 1908, after over sixty years of constant traveling. He died the following year, in 1909.
