The Gross Clinic

US$ 786.00

Dr Samuel Gross pauses mid-operation with a bloodied scalpel to address the students banked in the darkness above him, while a woman recoils at the left. Eakins offered it to the 1876 Centennial art exhibition; it was rejected as too brutal and hung in a medical display instead. It is now regarded as the finest American painting of the nineteenth century.

Artist

Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) was the most uncompromising American realist of his century, trained in Paris and committed to anatomy, perspective and photographic study. His insistence on the nude in teaching cost him his post at the Pennsylvania Academy. Recognition came late and largely after his death.
