About William Bliss Baker

- Baker began his studies in 1876 at the National Academy of Design, where he studied with Bierstadt and de Haas.
- He later maintained studios in Clifton Park, New York; and New York City, where he painted in oils and watercolors.
- He completed more than 130 paintings, including several in black and white. At age 26, Baker was just beginning to hit his stride as a landscape painter when he died at his father's house at Hoosick Falls, New York.
- The New York Times said that his death "deprived America of one of its most promising artists."
