Alethea Hill Platt (December 31, 1860 – May 23, 1932) was an artist and educator.

The New York Times found a “quality of serenity, even a kind of nobility” in her work, and American Art News placed her “in the ranks of America’s leading women painters.”

Alethea Platt was one of about nine children of Laura Sherbrook Popham (1826-1905) and Lewis Canfield Platt (1818-1893), a judge in White Plains, N.Y. The family descended from the politician Lewis Morris. Platt trained with the artists Henry B. Snell and Ben Foster and took courses at the Art Students League, Columbia University’s Teachers College and the Délécluse academy in Paris. As a child, she “showed a preference for drawing pictures beyond all other interests.”   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 5325 characters.]  Artist bio
