American, 1828–1891

Jervis McEntee was an American Realism painter. 32 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art. Jervis McEntee was born in Rondout.

Jervis McEntee (July 14, 1828 – January 27, 1891) was an American painter of the Hudson River School. He is a lesser-known figure of the 19th-century American art world, but was a close friend and traveling companion of several of the important Hudson River School artists. Aside from his paintings, McEntee's unpublished journals, written from 1872 to 1890, are an enduring legacy, documenting the life of a New York painter during and after the Gilded Age.
