Life
Andrews, son of physician Alexander Hull and his wife Eliza Ann, née Frazer, took drawing lessons at Marietta College in Marietta , Ohio. He graduated from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, as the youngest student in the history of his school. In the 1860s he studied painting in Düsseldorf . His stay there for the period between 1860 and 1863 can be proven. In 1860/1861 Andrews was introduced several times as a guest to the artists' association Malkasten . Andrews took private lessons from the genre and portrait painter Ludwig Knaus , possibly 1860/1861 in Düsseldorf, 1861 in Berlin and again in Düsseldorf in 1868 as part of a second trip to Europe. In 1874 he studied with Léon Bonnat and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant in Paris.
After his friend, the Republican politician Rutherford B. Hayes , was elected 19th President of the United States, he followed him to Washington and settled there as a portrait painter in 1877. The American banker and art patron William Wilson Corcoran (1798–1888) hired him in the same year as a teacher at the art school of the Corcoran Gallery of Art . Andrews developed a curriculum for this art school and became its first director, a position he held until 1902. One of the students he sponsored was Carl Rakeman . He married one of his students, Marietta Fauntleroy Minnigerode (1869–1931), the granddaughter of Karl Minnigerode , in 1895. The couple had two children.
Various US federal agencies commissioned Andrews to make numerous portrait copies. Some of them are in the art collections of the White House and the Smithsonian American Art Museum .
