  • Francis Martin Drexel (1792-1863), Artist Turned Financier ©Jay Robert Stiefel [email protected] All Rights Reserved
    Francis Martin Drexel (1792-1863), Artist Turned Financier ©Jay Robert Stiefel [email protected] All rights reserved. Appeared in Maine Antique Digest (May 2003), p. 44-D. The transformation of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) from stockbroker to painter illustrates a not uncommon occurrence in the life of many a wealthy professional. Beggaring even Maugham’s masterful fictional portrait of Gauguin in A Moon and Sixpence, however, is the tempestuous life of another man who accomplished the reverse, turning from art to finance. Whereas Gauguin found his greatest achievement as a painter, and is now considered a leading exponent of Post-impressionism, Francis Martin Drexel (1792-1863) - to the extent he is remembered at all - is respected as the founder of one of America’s greatest merchant banks, Drexel & Company. Drexel’s story, even more so than Gauguin’s, is one of insatiable Wanderlust and requited daring. Drexel admitted to having been partial to art since infancy. Perhaps this was fostered by the romantic setting of his birth on April 7, 1792, in Dornbirn, in the far western Austrian alpine province of the Voralberg. Drexel demonstrated no early interest in commerce, despite the encouragement of his father, one of Dornbirn’s most successful merchants. On New Year’s Day, 1806, Francis was apprenticed to a painter in the village of Wolfurt, five miles to the north of Dornbirn. (This was the area of the Bregenzer Wald, which had earlier produced another noted artist, Angelica Kauffmann, whose altarpiece graces the parish church at Schwarzenburg.) These studies were disrupted by the failed 1809 Tyrolese rising against the Napoleonic occupation of Austria, which nearly impoverished the elder Drexel, one of the insurgency’s leaders.
