Life and work
He studied painting in Boston in the studio of John Singleton Copley , the largest American portrait painter and landscape painter of his time. C.W. Peale later left America and continued his education in London for three years with Benjamin West . The work of Peel also repeats the theme of his teachers - it is mainly landscape and portrait painting. His paintings are known for the most detailed execution of the smallest details, as well as for the skillful transmission of the game of chiaroscuro on canvas.
The works of C.W. Peel, as well as another American master, Frederick Remington , having significantly processed them, after a century and a half used Roy Lichtenstein as the basis for his early works.
C.W. Peel and his son, Rembrandt Peel, were among the founders of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts .
