Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, is named for the John Armstrong, Sr. Into this prestigious family, Arthur Armstrong was born in 1798 in Pennsylvania. His leanings were artistic and in 1820, when he was 22, he opened a studio in Marietta, Pennsylvania. On September 25, 1827. He married Harriet Groff Wentz (1808-1896). He taught younger artists, including John Henry Brown (1818-1891) and worked in the Ohio River Valley in 1839 and 1840. By the time of the death of the regionâ€™s more established older artist, Jacob Eichholtz (1776-1842) Armstrong resided in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In 1849 his studio was in the Mechanicsâ€™ Institute in Lancaster. In times of economic downturn, Armstrong painted signs and constructed and gilded picture frames. But when the economy was good, he painted portraits, landscapes and historical scenes. On the second floor of his Lancaster studio he exhibited Hamlet and Ophelia and a large picture of the Assassination of Caesar. This 1845 portrait of George Gordon, Lord Byron, from a print of a British portrait by Richard Westall, would have been among the artworks on display. Armstrong died at the age of 53 on June 15, 1851. He was remembered as â€œa genial, kindly-hearted man.â€ He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.The Lancaster Historical Society owns the preponderance of his works. The Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, owns a particularly lovely double portrait Two Sisters with Puppy and Flowers, 1842.

Series: Journal of the Lancaster County Historical Society ; v. 101, no. 3.

Notes: Originally published in the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, v. 166, no. 3 (July 1992).

Summary: This is a jounal article about a Lancaster physician who practiced in times before the founding of medical societies that served to standardize forms of conduct and treatment. The article recognizes the pressures he faced because of the competition from other doctors in the city. He is seen as a physician in "the middle" between serious practitioners and charlatans. He was professionally trained, but did dabble in patent medicines and a variety of pseudosciences.
