In about 1830, elliott moved from upstate new york to manhattan, where he studied briefly with john quidor (1801-81), a specialist in literary scenes. Otherwise, he was largely self-taught, although he had thoroughly familiarized himself with the techniques employed by the portrait painter gilbert stuart (1755-1828). By the 1850s, elliott had become the leading portraitist in new york. Asher b. Durand (1796-1886) began his career as an engraver but eventually turned to landscape painting and succeeded thomas cole as the leader of the hudson river school of landscape painters.
