Portrait painter, author, preacher and teacher, Alban Jasper Conant is best known for his famous "Smiling Lincoln" portraits. Upon seeing his first painting, Mary Todd Lincoln was quoted as saying "That is excellent. That is the way he looks when he has his friends about him!" That portrait now hangs in Lovejoy Library at Southern Illinois University.
