William Coventry Wall was an American 19th Century painter. His painting career took off when he painted 2 views of the Pittsburgh city after the fire, had lithographs made of the pictures and sold them. (The Great Fire of Pittsburgh was one of the most devastating events in the city’s history. A third of the town was destroyed in approximately seven hours during the 1845 catastrophe, and the only visual recollection (aside from fire relics) are the renderings of local artists who witnessed the event.) His studio was on Wood St in Pittsburgh. At times he worked with other artists including his brother Alfred and was part of a group of Plein Aire painters called Scalp Level Artists. They would travel to Scalp Level near Johnstown on the Railroad in the summer and fall and paint "en plain aire". Several of his paintings are on permanent display at the Carnegie Art Museum in Pittsburgh and the Westmoreland Art Museum in Greensburg. Coventry Wall's work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging from $700 USD to $59,375 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. Since 1998 the record price for this artist at auction is $59,375 USD for View on the Allegheny near Pittsburgh, sold at Sotheby's New York in 2010.
