Charles Codman (1800-1842)
Charles Codman was a landscape and marine painter from Portland, Maine. He began
as a painter of signs, clock faces, fire buckets, and fire screens (of which an example
is in the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA). The art critic, John Neal, became
aware of Codman's work and encouraged him to take up landscape painting. After
turning to landscape painting, Codman gained a large, distinguished patronage.
His works include:

inches, Portland Museum of Art
