William Merritt Chase (1849–1916) was the most dazzling and cosmopolitan American painter of the Gilded Age — a virtuoso whose bravura brushwork, sophisticated colour sense, and sheer painterly confidence made him one of the most admired artists of his era and one of the most influential teachers in American art history. His studio interiors, park scenes, fish still lifes, and figure compositions are painted with a freshness and technical brilliance that still astonishes. His famous Shinnecock Hills landscapes are among the finest Impressionist works produced on American soil. In counted cross stitch, Chase's rich, varied palette and extraordinary tonal range translate into designs of genuine sophistication and beauty.
