Oil Painting — 
The Chinese Merchants. 
Homer, Winslow. 
This noted landscape, marine and genre painter was bom in Boston, Feb. 
24, 1836, and died at Scarboro, Me., Sept. 29, 1910. Beginning work for a 
lithographer when nineteen years old, he took up painting and illustrating 
two years later. He came to New York in 1859 and for a short time studied 
at the National Academy of Design and with Frederick Rondel. He was 
sent by Harper & Brothers to make war paintings in 1861; subsequently 
painted many pictures of Negro life, and a visit to the Adirondacks inspired 
camping scenes with mountain guides. Next he traveled in England and 
France. He is best known, however, by his pictures of the Maine coast, 
where for many years he lived the life of a recluse at Scarboro. He was 
elected an Associate in 1864, and an Academician the following year, of the 
National Academy of Design; and was a member of the American Water 
Color Society and the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Among the 
awards which he received were, the first prize, $1,500, Carnegie Institute, 
1896; gold medal at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, 1896; gold 
medal at the Paris Exposition, 1900; gold medal at the Pan-American 
Exposition, 1901; Temple gold medal at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine 
Arts in 1902; and gold medals at the Charleston Exposition, 1902, and the 
St. Louis Exposition, 1904.
