埃德温·怀特
美国历史画家与教育家
埃德温·怀特是一位美国画家。埃德温·怀特曾在巴黎、杜塞尔多夫、罗马和佛罗伦萨学习，后来在纽约的国家设计学院任教。除了师从多位不同的美国和欧洲绘画大师外，他还在纽约市的一所医学院听讲座学习解剖学。他还就读于阿默斯特学院，并于1856年底获得文学硕士学位。 怀特的作品主要存放于耶鲁大学、大都会艺术博物馆、波士顿美术博物馆和纽约历史学会的收藏中。 怀特职业生涯中的一个重要时刻发生在1855年10月，当时他在巴黎遇见了画家桑福德·罗宾逊·吉福德，并告诉吉福德他即将返回纽约，身无分文，没有委托，可能不得不重新从事肖像画创作。然而，当怀特回到纽约工作室后，他开始创作他的《五月花号》画作，这幅画在画架上就以1000美元的价格售出，开启了他职业生涯中一个崭新且成功的阶段。他的《华盛顿辞职》画作是在怀特返回巴黎后，受马里兰州委托以6000美元的价格创作的。 《五月花号》画作是1920年作为朝圣者三百周年纪念的一部分发行的5美分邮票的基础。一幅显然是后来创作的、未完成的同主题画作，创作于1867年，由艺术家遗赠给耶鲁大学，该大学艺术博物馆收藏了怀特为绘画准备的大约24幅素描。 这位艺术家是康奈尔大学首任校长安德鲁·迪克森·怀特的表亲。
