Thomas Buchanan Read (March 12, 1822 – May 11, 1872) was an American poet, sculptor, and portrait painter, known for his lyrical and patriotic works. Born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Read displayed artistic talent from a young age. He initially pursued a career in painting, studying under several prominent artists of his time. His skill as a portrait painter earned him considerable acclaim, and he painted notable figures such as Abraham Lincoln and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Read's literary career began to flourish alongside his painting. He published his first volume of poetry, "Poems," in 1847, which was well-received and established his reputation as a poet. His poetry often reflected his deep sense of patriotism and love for nature, themes that resonated with the American public during the mid-19th century. One of his most famous poems, "Sheridan's Ride," vividly recounts General Philip Sheridan's dramatic ride during the Battle of Cedar Creek in the American Civil War, capturing the spirit of heroism and urgency.

In addition to his poetry and painting, Read also ventured into sculpture, although this aspect of his career is less documented. His artistic versatility and contributions to American culture were significant during his lifetime, and he was well-regarded in both literary and artistic circles.

Read spent several years in Europe, particularly in Italy, where he continued to develop his artistic skills and was influenced by the European art scene. His time abroad enriched his work, bringing a broader perspective to his artistic endeavors.

Thomas Buchanan Read's legacy is that of a multi-talented artist who bridged the worlds of visual art and literature. His works continue to be appreciated for their emotional depth, technical skill, and patriotic fervor. He passed away in New York City in 1872, leaving behind a rich body of work that reflects the cultural and artistic spirit of his era.
