Edmund Tarbell was a noted American Impressionist and the leading figure of the Boston school of painters; called “Tarbellites” by one contemporary critic. He co-founded the group of East Coast artists, known as “The Ten,” who united in 1898 to exhibit their work separately from the more established Society of American Artists and the National Academy of Design. He was known for his elegant depictions of society figures both in landscapes and lush interior settings. He also created many portraits of prominent Americans, including four presidents. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Tarbell was educated at the Massachusetts Normal Art School and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He also traveled to Paris to study at the Académie Julian in 1883, where he was exposed to the Impressionist movement that was to influence his future work. After returning to the US, Tarbell went on to teach at his alma mater the Museum School as well as the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC. After he retired, Tarbell moved permanently to his summer home in New Hampshire.
