Artist Biography
Born in Bolton, Lancashire, England, Peter Moran emigrated to America with his family in 1844 and settled in Maryland. He trained with his older brothers, Edward and Thomas, who also became artists. In 1863 he studied in London for one year, and on his return settled in Philadelphia, where he spent the remainder of his life. Known as a painter and engraver, Moran specialised in landscapes and scenes of animals. In 1877 his prints were among the very first purchased for reproduction by an American commercial publisher. Moran travelled extensively, visiting New Mexico in 1864, the Tetons in 1879, and Arizona and New Mexico in the 1880s. He exhibited his works widely along the Eastern Seaboard, winning medals at shows in 1876 and 1902.
