George Washington Seavey (1841-1913) American O/C. Gilt Frame. Original Stretcher. Original Frame. Uncleaned. Beautiful Still life. (1841 – 1913) Very little is currently known about the still-life painter, George W. Seavey. Maybelle Mann’s Art in Florida, 1999, suggests that Seavey came to St. Augustine in 1883, the year of financier and hotel magnate “Henry Flagler’s first visit” to America’s oldest city. And while Maybelle Mann misses the date by one year – Flagler arrived in 1882 – she does mention George W. Seavey in her discussion of Flagler. Later, after the construction of the Ponce de Leon Hotel and its suite of artist’s studios, managed by Seavey’s brother, Osborne, George Washington Seavey settled in as one of the seasonal resident artists at the Ponce. Sandra Barghini, in her elegant publication, A Society of Painters, Flagler’s St. Augustine Art Colony, 1998, notes that both of the Seavey brothers were from New England and that George also maintained a studio/workshop in the “Studio Building” in Boston and a studio near the Maplewood Hotel in Bethlehem, New Hampshire.
