John White

Art Collection

John White was an artist, cartographer, and Virginia pioneer who was born in England in 1540. In 1585, at the age of 44 he was commissioned to travel with an English expedition to Roanoke Island to illustrate life in the New World. His paintings provided Europeans with some of the earliest sights on the North American continent. White was appointed governor of the second Roanoke colony in 1587 by Sir Walter Raleigh. As governor, he escaped the fate of the lost colony when he returned to England in search of supplies for the struggling colony. The colony disappeared while he was away. After the failure of the Roanoke Island colony, White moved to Plymouth, England. In his later years, the artist drew maps for Sir Walter Raleigh. White died in 1606
