This insightful book--published in conjunction with a major exhibition on Eakins--presents a fresh perspective on the artist and his remarkable accomplishments. Lavishly illustrated with more than 250 paintings, watercolors, drawings, and sculpture, the book features essays by prominent scholars who place his art in the context of the history and culture of late 19th century.

Summary: Thomas Eakins (1844 - 1916) is one of the most fascinating and important personalities in the history of American art. His memorable and much loved scenes of rowing, sailing, and boxing as well as his deeply moving portraits are renowned for their vibrant realism and dramatic intensity. This beautiful and insightful book, published in conjunction with a major exhibition on the life and career of Eakins - the first in twenty years - presents a fresh perspective on the artist and his remarkable accomplishments.
