Biography: Born in Philadelphia to painter, Elizabeth Stanley Shinn Haseltine, William Haseltine became best known as a landscape and marine painter who had a special talent for conveying light and geological detail. He made a prestigious name for himself both in America and Europe. His family, in addition to the mother, had other artist profession members including his brothers, James Henry Haseltine, sculptor; and Charles Field Haseltine, owner of the Haseltine Art Galleries in Philadelphia. William Haseltine's son, Herbert, was also a sculptor and member of the National Academy of Design. From 1858 to 1866, he lived and worked for much of his time in New York City where he had studio space in the Tenth Street Studio Building* near studios of Leutze, Whittredge and Bierstadt. With special focus on rock formations, Haseltine did much painting of the American landscape including the coast of Rhode Island, Delaware River Valley and North Shore of Massachusetts. Some of his Academy exhibition entries from 1861 to 1865 focused on these areas. Although he was a dedicated expatriate, he also maintained ties in America. To New York he returned several times during the last three decades of his life, keeping a studio in that city in 1873 and 1874. He worked in Boston during the winter of 1896. With his son, Herbert, he traveled to Alaska and the American West in 1899. Upon William Haseltine's death, about fifteen hundred paintings, drawings and watercolors were found at the Palazzo Alter, and they remained there for twenty years, eventually being inherited by his daughter, Helen Haseltine Plowden. In 1958, the National Academy of Design held a memorial exhibition of those works, and when returned, the collection, at the daughter's request, was distributed to various public collections including the Dayton Art Institute, Nelson-Atkins Museum and Montclair Art Museum.
