His parents were Seventh-See also:Day See also:Baptists, and his See also:early religious training influenced him all though his See also:life. He was sent to school in New York by his See also:mother, who made See also:great sacrifices that he might get an See also:education, and he graduated at See also:Union See also:College, Schenectady, in 1848. He studied See also:art under See also:Frederick E. See also:- CHURCH

Church and early in 185o went to See also:England, where he made the acquaintance of See also:Ruskin, whose See also:Modern Painters hehad devoured, was introduced to See also:Turner, for whose See also:works he had unbounded admiration, and See also:fell so much under the See also:influence of See also:Rossetti and See also:Millais that on his return See also:home in the same See also:year he speedily became known as the " American Pre-Raphaelite. " In 1852 See also:Kossuth sent him on a See also:fool's errand to See also:Hungary to dig up See also:crown jewels, which had been buried secretly during the insurrection of 1848—1849. While he was awaiting a projected rising in See also:Milan, Stillman studied art under Yvon in See also:Paris, and then, as the rising did not take See also:place, he returned to the See also:United States and devoted himself to landscape See also:painting on Upper Saranac See also:Lake in the See also:Adirondacks and in New York See also:City, where he started the See also:Crayon. It numbered See also:Lowell, See also:Aldrich and See also:Charles See also:Eliot See also:Norton among its contributors, and when it failed for want of funds, Stillman removed to See also:Cambridge, See also:Massachusetts. There he passed several years, but a See also:fit of restlessness started him off once more to England. He renewed his friendship with Ruskin, and went with him to See also:Switzerland to paint and draw in the See also:Alps, where he worked so assiduously that his See also:eye-sight was affected. He then lived in Faris and was in See also:Normandy in 1861 when the American See also:Civil See also:War See also:broke out. He made more than one See also:attempt to serve in the See also:Northern ranks, but his See also:health was too weak; in the same year he was appointed United States See also:consul in See also:Rome. In 1865 a dispute with his See also:government led to his resignation, but immediately afterwards he was appointed to See also:Crete, where, as an avowed See also:champion of the Christians in the See also:island and of Cretan See also:independence, he was regarded with hostility both by the Mussulman See also:population and by the See also:Turkish authorities, and in See also:September 1868 he resigned and went to See also:Athens, where his first wife (a daughter of See also:David Mack of Cambridge), worn out by the excitement of life in Crete, committed See also:suicide. He was an editor of Scribner's See also:Magazine for a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time and then went to See also:London, where he lived with D. G. Rossetti. In 1871 he married a daughter of See also:Michael Spartali, the See also:Greek consul-See also:general. When the insurrection of 1875 broke out in Herzegovina he went there as a correspondent of The Times, and his letters from the Balkans aroused so much See also:interest that the See also:British government was induced to lend its countenance to Montenegrin aspirations. In 1877—1883 he served as the correspondent of The Times at Athens; in 1886—1898 at Rome. He was a severe critic of See also:Italian statesmen, and embroiled himself at various times with various politicians, from See also:Crispi downwards. After his retirement he lived in See also:Surrey, where he died on the 6th of See also:July 1901. He wrote The Cretan Insurrection of x866—i868 (1874).
