TILTON, John Rollia, artist, born in London, New Hampshire, in 1833; died in Rome, Italy, 22 March, 1888. His professional life was spent in Italy, and he was a close student of the Venetian school of painting. Many of his landscapes are in private collections in England and the United States. Among his paintings are " The Palace of Thebes," which was shown at the Royal academy, London, in 1873 ; "Como" ; "Venice" ; and " Venetian Fishing-Boats" and " Rome from Mount Aventine," both of which are in the Corcoran gallery, Washington. His "Lagoons of Venice," and "Komombo " were at the Philadelphia exhibition of 1876 Henry T. Tuckerman says of him that "while some critics compare him with Claude and Turner, others, like Jarves, unjustly declare him a 'weak sentimentalist in color, having no solid foundation of knowledge or inventive force.'"
