Thomas Eakins
Thomas Eakins (1844–1916) was an influential American realist painter, photographer, and sculptor. Born in Philadelphia, Eakins is celebrated for his commitment to realism and his dedication to anatomical accuracy in his works. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and later in Paris, where he was exposed to the techniques of European artists. Eakins' paintings often depicted scenes of everyday life, including portraits, landscapes, and sporting events. He was also known for his interest in anatomy, and his works frequently explored the human figure in motion. Eakins' uncompromising dedication to realism sometimes brought him into conflict with the artistic establishment of his time, but his contributions to American art were eventually widely recognised.
