## About this work

Kenyon Cox painted this in 1905, aged 49. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

### How it was made

- **Oil paint.** Pigment ground in a drying oil, usually linseed. It dries slowly, so painters could blend on the canvas, build up thin translucent glazes, and rework a picture over weeks. Canvas replaced wooden panels in the 1500s because it is lighter and can be rolled.

American, 1856–1919

Cox trained in Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Paris, where he studied with Carolus-Duran and Jean-Léon Gérôme, before settling in New York in 1883. He taught for years at the Art Students League and became a leading muralist of the American Renaissance, decorating the Library of Congress and state capitols with allegorical figures. A forceful critic, he defended the classical tradition against modernism, most notably after the 1913 Armory Show.
