- ‘L’Empereur’ by James Carroll Beckwith (1852-1917). From the Public Domain Graphics email list.
James Carroll Beckwith was an American painter, who studied at the Chicago Academy of Design until it was destroyed by fire in 1871. He then studied in New York at the National Academy of Design. Beckwith traveled to Paris in 1873 and stayed there 5 years; it was during that time that he painted this picture of the sun setting on a statue.
Beckwith lived and worked mostly in the United States, where he was a well-known, successful, and often exhibited artist. He did return to Europe several times, including a four year stay in Italy from 1910-1914. He died of a heart attack at age 66 in New York City in 1917.
