English: George Dury (1817-1894), also known as Friedrich Julius George Dury and George W. Dury, was born in the Kingdom of Bavaria in Würzburg and studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich under Heinrich Maria von Hess and Clemens von Zimmermann. In 1849, he emigrated to Wartburg, a German-Swiss settlement in Morgan County, Tennessee. In June 1850, he finally settled in Nashville, Tennessee, where he pursued a successful career in portrait painting. The Catalog of American Portraits of the National Portrait Gallery's Office of Collections Information and Research, which preserves information of prominent American subjects, or by prominent American artists, gives details about or over 50 Dury's works. In the United States, his paintings are on view at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville, the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and in the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center in Clarksville, Tennessee. Department of Justice owns a portrait of Felix Grundy, the 13th Attorney General of the United States by Dury. The White House owns his three-quarter length, standing, facing slightly left portrait of First Lady Sarah Childress Polk, wife of President James K. Polk (1883), which was modeled after waist-length, sitting, facing front portrait of Sarah Polk by George P. A. Healy (1846). In Bavaria, Dury's early works are preserved in the Berchtesgaden Royal Castle and in Nymphenburg Palace, Munich.
