Bradford Freeman (1839 – 1870?)
Little is known about the artist, Bradford Freeman. During the 1860 Boston census, he was 21 years old and living with his parents and sister in Boston. Consistent with the few paintings he is known to have painted, he may have died in the 1870’s. He exhibited with Benjamin Champney as evidenced by the following excerpt from the Boston Daily Evening Transcript of Thursday, April 23, 1868: "Champney is busy getting pictures ready for his sale next week, in conjunction with Bricher, Johnston, and Freeman."
Freeman painted, or is known to have exhibited, paintings from the period 1858 to 1868. He exhibited paintings at the Boston Athenaeum from 1858 to 1862. Only one painting by the artist has been located – the one in this exhibition, Mount Washington and North Conway.
