Washington Allston, “the American Titian,” artist and author, was born at Brookgreen, Nov. 5, 1779. He studied in London, Paris, and Venice. He had a studio in London 1811–1818; in Boston 1818–1830; in Cambridge, 1830–1843, where he died, July 9, 1843. Allston was, said Coleridge, a painter born to renew the 16th century.

Marker is on Henry Flagg Loop near William Alston Loop, in the median.
