Frank Duveneck (1848–1919)
The bold, confident handling with which Frank Duveneck infused life into his subjects can be breathtaking. This publication is the first major work devoted to Duveneck in over 30 years, highlighting one of the most influential and respected American artists of the late nineteenth century. Though beloved by his students and lauded by Gilded Age figures like James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Henry James, he is often remembered for just one painting. This volume offers diverse perspectives on his life, work, and reputation by contextualizing his art within the period's artistic, cultural, and social milieus.
