Notes: Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827), artist, naturalist, museologist, began his career in Maryland as the son of a clerk transported to the colonies for forgery. Sent to England for artistic training by Maryland patrons, Peale became a leading artist and portrait painter of the new republic. Peale was also noteworthy for his excavation of a mastodon's skeleton and his establishment of museums displaying art and natural history collections. His sons and other relatives formed a dynasty of artists who were influential in Maryland and beyond.
