 ELIHU VEDDER 11836
During his long residence in Italy, Elihu Vedder visited not only the usual picturesque Italian sites such as the Roman Campagna and Subiaco but also those such as San Remo, Bordighera, and Capri, not on the traditional nineteenth-century tourist route because of their inaccessibility, but which offered the ruggedness and desolation that Vedder found attractive.
Vedder's friendship with Costa seems to have brought him into contact with the Macchiaioli style at an early stage in its formation and prompted his appreciation, unique among American artists, for the innovative naturalism of the Macchiaioli landscape- sketching technique.
The parched, mountainous landscape became a feature of a number of Vedder's works on which his reputation as a painter of Symbolist fantasies is based.

Vedder himself was influenced by other mystics such as William Blake and WB Yeats.
Vedder's Rubáiyát was lauded as a landmark artistic book and the first print run sold out in 6 days.
Nor would I concur with the hyperbole I saw in passing from USA Today where Vedder's illustrative work is "held by many to be one of the greatest artistic treatments of a literary work".

 Elihu Vedder at Kennedy - Brief Article Art in America - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The American artist Elihu Vedder (1836-1923) is little known in contemporary art circles, although one of his paintings, The Questioner of the Sphinx (1863), has entered the late-20th-century image bank via a parody by Mark Tansey.
Such images were Vedder's most peculiar and establish him as something of an eccentric in 19th-century art, but his present obscurity has more do with the fact that, as modernism swept through galleries and exhibitions at the turn of the century, Vedder's allegorical subjects and Italian landscapes were old-fashioned the day he painted them.
Vedder also had an interest in mycology, and one of his final projects was a collection of natural-history drawings, The Book of Mushrooms.

 Elihu Vedder (1836-1923)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Elihu Vedder is an American artist who never lived in Britain, and finds a place on these pages, along with a few other foreign painters, because his work is so much in the same spirit as that of British Victorian artists, and especially the Classical School.
Vedder was born in New York City, showed an early inclination to painting, and studied under the genre painter Tomkins H. Matteson (Mathieson) before continuing in Paris for a few months in 1856 under Picot, and then in Florence.
Vedder worked on line illustrations from the 1860s, when he found difficulty supporting himself in New York as a painter of then-unfashionable topics.
