About the Item

A well executed impressionist landscape of a cottage near a pond in Polling, Germany by American artist Frederic Porter Vinton (1846-1911). Vinton was born in Bangor, Maine, studied with William Morris Hunt, as well as taking drawing classes with the renowned anatomist, Dr. William Rimmer at the Lowell Institute in Boston and was drawing from casts at the Athenaeum. By 1874, Vinton saved enough money working at a local bank and writing art criticism for the Boston Advertiser to study in Europe. His first year in Europe he studied under Léon Bonnât in Paris and later, with the encouragement of Frank Duveneck, he went to the Royal Academy in Munich to study with Mauger, Carl Piloty, and Wilhelm von Diez. In 1875, preferring the French method of painting, Vinton returned to Paris to become one of Jean Paul Laurens' first American students. He returned to Boston in 1879 and, just a few years later in 1882, there would be a second study tour to Europe with artists William Merritt Chase and Robert Blum. This trip was spent in Spain studying the work of the Spanish master, Velázquez. His third trip to Europe came shortly after marrying Annie M. Pierce of Newport in 1883. This time it was off to Holland to study the work of another master, Franz Hals. Returning to Boston, he specialized in male portraits, and was one of Boston's most sought after portrait painters. He was a member of the National Academy of Design, Associate in 1882 and Academician in 1891; a founding member of the St. Botolph Club, Boston in 1880; the Lowell Institute's Tavern Club; and the Society of American Artists in the 1880s. Collections representing Vinton's work include the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, MA; the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; the University of Michigan Museum of Art in Ann Arbor; the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, ME; and the Washington University Gallery of Art in St. Louis, MO.
