Like many of his contemporaries, Samuel Lancaster Gerry had no formal training but was a sign and decorative painter in 1835 and 1836. He made the ritualistic trip abroad to study paintings of the masters for the following three years before opening a studio in Boston in 1840. Gerry worked mostly in New England using his studio in Boston. For a while Gerry, an accomplished artist, conducted classes at the Tremont Street Studio Building. He supported the Boston Art Club from its inception in 1854 and was one of its first presidents.
