      Thomas Eakins

      Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) was an influential American realist painter, photographer, and educator known for his profound honesty and use of scientific methods in depicting the human figure. Born in Philadelphia, Eakins studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before furthering his education in Europe, where he was deeply influenced by the realism of the old masters. His works, which often featured portraits, medical scenes, and athletic figures, are celebrated for their depth of character and meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy. Eakins' commitment to realism was not only reflected in his paintings but also in his teaching at the Pennsylvania Academy, where he emphasized the study of human anatomy and outdoor painting. His methods and subjects were often controversial during his lifetime but later affirmed his legacy as one of the most important figures in American art history.
