About Edmund C. Tarbell
Edmund Charles Tarbell was born in West Groton, Massachusetts, in April 1862, apprenticed to a lithographer, and studied at the Museum School in Boston and the Académie Julian in Paris. He came home in 1886, joined the Museum School faculty in 1889 and led it for twenty-three years, so that his pupils and imitators became known as the Tarbellites and the Boston School. His early pictures put his wife and her sisters in orchards and boats in full Impressionist sunlight; after 1900 he turned to hushed interiors of women reading and sewing in grey light, modelled on Vermeer, that were the most admired American paintings of their day. A founder of the Ten American Painters, he died at New Castle, New Hampshire, in August 1938. His sunlit family pictures print as gentle, luminous colour for a bedroom or nursery.
