Flagg. I. George Whiting, an American artist, born in New Haven, Conn., June 26, 1816. His boyhood was passed in Charleston, S. C, where his juvenile portrait of Bishop England excited much injudicious admiration. He soon became a pupil of his uncle,Washington All-ston, whose instruction he enjoyed for two or three years. The pictures "A Boy listening to a Ghost Story,"A Young Greek," and "Jacob and Rachel at the Well," were painted at this time. A picture of the Murder of the Princes," from "Richard III.," procured him the patronage of Luman Read of New York, through whose assistance he visited Europe and spent three years in study. He resided for six years in London, where he painted portraits' principally, but executed also a few genre pictures, among which the "Match Girl, "Haidee," and the "Scarlet Letter" received the most approbation. After his return he opened a studio in New Haven and painted a number of historical pictures, the chief of which are "The Landing of the Pilgrims," The Landing of the Atlantic Cable," and Washington receiving his Mother's Blessing." Mr. Flagg has suffered much from ill health, and his efforts have been in consequence unequal.
