Životopis:

Jacob Maentel or Mental (1763–1863) was a German-American folk artist known for his portrayal of 19th-Century America. Maentel is most notable for his watercolor portrait art that minutely portrayed the décor and dress of early American immigrant communities. Little was known of Maentel's life until American art historian Mary Black reconstructed his life through her scholarship beginning in the 1960s.
