Provenance: purchased at Abby M. Taylor Fine Art, NY/CT, May 21, 2015, orignally from a private collection Guilford, CT. Robert Bolling Brandegee, painter and teacher was born in Berlin, Connecticut in 1849. Although information about his early art training is vague it is believed that he studied with John Henry Hill and later had a winter of instruction with Thomas Charles Farrer. Brandegee’s early works were small-scale watercolors painted in the exacting technique and brilliant palette of the American Ruskinian circle, the Pre Raphaelites. He is best remembered as an American Pre-Raphaelite. Brandegee painted in the style he developed in Paris and practiced in America that displayed the strong influence of Frank Duveneck and the Munich School. His dramatic contrasts of light and dark and the broad and direct painting technique he employed demonstrated his mastery of the skilled influences on his artistic career.
