William Henry Chandler (1854-1928) was an American painter celebrated for his luminous, idealized landscapes and floral still lifes that epitomize the romantic and decorative style of late 19th- and early 20th-century American art. Born in New Jersey, Chandler trained at the National Academy of Design in New York before developing a career marked by richly colored, highly detailed compositions that emphasized light, atmosphere, and a sense of serene beauty. His floral paintings, in particular, became widely popular through reproductions and calendars, making his work accessible to a broad audience. Chandler’s art blends academic precision with an almost poetic sensibility, reflecting both the tastes of the American middle class and the aesthetic ideals of his era.
