Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, John Henry Twachtman is celebrated as a leading Impressionist painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Perhaps most notably, he was a founding member of the Ten American Painters, a group of American artists formed in 1898, which originally included Frank W. Benson, Thomas Wilmer Dewing, Childe Hassam, Willard Leroy Metcalf, Robert Reid, Edward Simmons, Edmund C. Tarbell, J. Alden Weir, and Joseph DeCamp. The artist studied at the Royal Academy in Munich and the Academie Julian with Jules Lefebvre and Louis Boulanger. He was close friends with William Merritt Chase and famed Ohio artist Frank Duveneck, both of whom joined him in Venice in 1877. Later in his career, Twachtman taught a number of renowned artists such as Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, Frank W. Benson, Edmund C. Tarbell, and Robert Reid. His work has been collected and exhibited by numerous prestigious institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, among many others.
