Thomas Eakins

Max Schmitt in a Single Scull

US$ 618.00

A rower rests on still water and turns to look directly out of the canvas, with the painter himself visible sculling in the middle distance and iron bridges crossing the river behind. Eakins built the perspective with mathematical drawings, plotting the boats and reflections precisely. It combines portraiture, landscape and a quiet piece of self-insertion.

Artist

Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) taught anatomy through dissection and used photography as a working tool, pursuing an uncompromising realism that repeatedly put him at odds with Philadelphia society and cost him his teaching post. His portraits are often unflattering to the point of discomfort. He is now generally regarded as the most important American painter of his century.
