Best known for his genre paintings, paintings of scenes from everyday life, and his portraits both of everyday people, he also painted portraits of prominent Americans such as Abraham Lincoln , Nathaniel Hawthorne , Ralph Waldo Emerson , and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow . His later works often show the influence of the 17th century Dutch masters whom he studied while living in The Hague , and he was even known as ''The American Rembrandt'' in his day.1 BIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Johnson was born in Lovell, Maine , the eighth and last child of Philip Carrigan Johnson and Mary Kimball Chandler.
