William Henry Rinehart, an American sculptor, born in Frederick co., Md., Sept. 13,1825, died in Rome, Italy, Oct. 28, 1874. He was apprenticed to a stone cutter, attended the night school of design of the Maryland institute in Baltimore, became foreman of the establishment in which he was employed, and was noted for his fine monumental and mantel work. Opening a small studio, he devoted his leisure hours to modelling, and executed one of his earliest works, "The Woodman." He was in Florence from 1855 to 1858, and on his return to Baltimore brought his bass reliefs "Night" and "Morning." He established a studio there, but soon afterward went to Rome, where he resided till his death. He completed the double bronze door in the capitol at Washington, left unfinished by Crawford. His best works are a "Nymph," "Woman of Samaria," "Indian Maiden," "Rebecca," "Endymion," "Atalanta," "Hero," "Leander," "Antigone," and "Latona." His masterpiece, "Clytie," is in the Peabody institute, Baltimore; his statue in bronze of Robert B. Taney is at Annapolis. He executed more than 100 portrait busts.
