Life and career

Born in Hinesburg, Vermont, William was the son of Ellen Maria Upham and the Reverend William Lamb Picknell, a Baptist minister, both of New England families. In July, 1868, the summer following his father's death, the Picknell family moved to Chelsea, Massachusetts.[1]

He began his career by working in a Boston frame shop. In 1872, he travelled to Europe where he trained with Jean-Léon Gérôme in Rome (1874–75) and also received some informal training from Robert Wylie in Brittany.[2]

Throughout the 1880s, he primarily lived Waltham, Massachusetts, but frequently travelled abroad; spending two winters in England and also visiting other parts of the US, including Florida and California. He was living at Moret-sur-Loing, on the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau, for most of the 1890s, but often spent the winters in the south of France. He returned to Massachusetts in 1897.[2] He died of heart failure in Marblehead on August 8, 1897.[3]

William Lamb Picknell (Hinesburg, 23 ottobre 1853 – Marblehead, 8 agosto 1897) è stato un pittore statunitense,  che visse a lungo in Francia. Non va confuso con il paesaggista americano George W. Picknell, nato nel 1864 a Springfield nel Vermont, e morto nel 1943 a Silvermine, una colonia d'artisti vicino a New Canaan nel Connecticut, il quale aveva anch'egli trascorso lunghi periodi in Francia.
