How did his artwork reflects or defines his time period?
In 1842, through friendly influences, he was commissioned by Congress to paint The Landing of Columbus. Going to Paris, he hired a French artist, who, it is said, did most of the work. Vanderlyn was the first American to study in France instead of in England, and to acquire accurate draughtsman ship. He was more academic than his fellows; but, though faithfully and capably executed, his work was rather devoid of charm.

Vanderlyn had been encouraged by some of the men in the highest political stations in the country to mature a plan for a National Gallery at Washington.
