As a young man Everett Julio studied in Paris and then at the Lowell Institute in Boston apparently supported by parents who encouraged his obvious talent. He was active in St. Louis from 1864 to 1870 and during this time did the work that brought him the most recognition of his career: The Last Meeting of Lee and Jackson an 1869 painting of these two figures of the Civil War. The next year he exhibited it in New Orleans where he had just moved and settled a studio on Canal Street over the gallery of Frederic Seebold a gathering place of art connoisseurs.
