Portrait donation ties Baylor to McArdle family legacy
Willet A. Meards, son of Texas artist-historian Harry A. McArdle, donates a portrait of his father to Baylor University in Waco. The piece, painted by McArdle, will hang in the Mary L A McArdle room at Pat Neff designed for the study of the artist who studied in Belfast and painted notable scenes from the Alamo and San Jacinto. McArdle served on General Lee’s staff and produced See at the Wilderness. His works were once displayed in Austin’s senate chamber and were widely discussed after Jefferson Davis reportedly shed tears upon viewing them.
