Bryant Chapin, 1859-1927. Signed “Bryant Chapin 11″ lower left, oil on canvas. Condition is excellent. Canvas size 10″x14”. Born in Fall River in 1859, Chapin spent most of his life there. He was a member and teacher of the Fall River School, and a pupil of the schools founder, Robert S. Dunning. This painting is characteristic of Chapins, and the Fall River School’s, later still-life style (after 1890) showing a group of fruit (in this case plums) in a natural out-of-doors setting. Chapin painted primarily in oil and although he did paint coastal scenes and landscapes, he is best known for his still-life paintings. |
