Additional Details

Gifford Beal was a prominent American painter who studied under William Merritt Chase and was also significantly influenced by Childe Hassam. After taking classes of Impressionist painting at the Art Students League, Beal served as their president from 1914 to 1929. He found inspiration not only in spectacle and pageantry but also in the natural and everyday side of life. Beal enjoyed painting the landscape along the Hudson River and in Gloucester and Rockport, Massachusetts, where he spent many summers. In 1916 and 1919 Beal traveled to the West Indies, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and the Bahamas.
