Nel 1866 rientrò in Europa con i colleghi pittori William Morris Hunt ed Elihu Vedder. Nel 1865 venne eletto membro associato della National Academy of Design.
Dopo aver trascorso vario tempo a Parigi ed in Gran Bretagna, si trasferì a Roma, nell'appartamento che era stato abitato da John Keats, prima di trasferirsi poi definitivamente a Capri.
Qui, nel 1870, trasformò l'ex convento di Santa Teresa in Villa Narcissus. Una parte della villa era dedicata a "palazzo d'arte", con antichità e con i propri dipinti. La villa fu poi acquistata da Rose O'Neill, artista statunitense e sua amica, che gli permise di viverci per il resto dei suoi giorni ed egli vi restò fino alla morte.
Le sue opera furono esposte negli Stati Uniti ed in Inghilterra.
