George Sotter

George W. Sotter (1879 1953) was an American painter best known for Impressionist-style works. He was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but eventually made his name in Philadelphia. He is also known for his work in stained glass, some of which are still installed in numerous churches. In a recent episode of Antiques Roadshow on PBS, filmed in Philadelphia, a Sotter oil painting was appraised $120,000-$180,000, much to the delight of its visibly stunned owner.[1] Sotter studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy with artist and teacher Redfield, a member of the regional New Hope group, and later became a member of the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University.
