Stephen Etnier was an American realist painter born in 1903 in York, Pennsylvania. He was best known for his seemingly luminous landscapes and marine scapes. Etnier studied at Yale Art School and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts during the late 1920s, while apprenticing under Rockwell Kent, John Carroll, and Henry Breckinridge privately. After serving in the United States Navy during World War II, Etnier returned to painting and entered his mature style of work, depicting stark and geometrical architectural scapes. His works can be found in permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Boston Museum of Fine Arts and other museums across the United States.
