SHATTUCK, Aaron Draper, artist, born in Francestown, New Hampshire, 9 March, 1832. He became in 1850 the pupil of Alexander Ransom in Boston, and two years later entered the schools of the Academy of design, New York. The first picture that he exhibited at the academy was a "Study of Grasses and Flowers" (1856). The following year he was elected an associate, and he became an academician in 1861. In 1867 he held the post of recording secretary. His works include "White Mountains in October" (1868); "Sunday Morning in New England" (1873); "Sheep and Cattle in Landscape" (1874) ; "Autumn near Stockbridge" (1876) ; "Granby Pastures" (1877) ; "Cows by the Meadow Brook " (1881) ; " Cattle" (1882) ; and "Peaceful Days" (1884). He invented in 1883-'5 a stretcher-frame with keys, a great improvement on the old methods of tightening canvases.
