James Everett Stuart (March 24, 1852 – January 2, 1941) was an American landscape painter known for his views of the American West, particularly California, Nevada, and Wyoming, as well as depictions of the coastline and Indigenous settlements of Alaska. While primarily based in San Francisco, he also occupied studios in Portland, New York, and Chicago for many years, developing a customer base across the country. Over the course of six decades, Stuart is estimated to have produced more than 5,000 paintings and drawings, which he meticulously numbered and dated.
