About the Artist:
Born in 1862, Frank Weston Benson was an American artist. He trained at the Academie Julian in Paris for two years, before travelling across France and to England.
After his studies and travels, Benson returned to his home state of Massachusetts. He opened a studio and began painting portraits of friends and family, with skills and style developed during his time in Europe.
In 1889, Benson was appointed as a drawing instructor at the Museum School in Boston. He was a popular, well-liked teacher and remained at the school for a many years.
Artistically, Benson enjoyed exploring the qualities of light and shadow in his work, and spent his career refining and mastering this skill. Later in his career, he also began working in etching and printmaking.
