Bare autumn trees in russet and gold line the near bank, and a many-arched railway bridge spans the water behind him, with a second, more distant sculler and a red canoe further upstream. Thin cloud streaks a pale blue sky, mirrored in the still water below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEakins painted this in 1871, soon after four years of study in Paris, and it became his first mature exhibited work, shown at the Union League of Philadelphia that April to mixed reviews. The rower is Max Schmitt, a schoolfriend who had just won the Schuylkill Navy's single-sculls championship in record time; Eakins painted a second, smaller sculler further back on the river as a self-portrait. It was the first of nearly thirty rowing works Eakins made, and now hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Eakins (1844–1916) is the most uncompromising of American realists. Philadelphia-born and Paris-trained under Gérôme, he brought back an insistence on anatomy, perspective and the study of the nude that made him a formidable teacher and eventually cost him his post at the Pennsylvania Academy. He painted rowers on the Schuylkill, surgeons at work and sitters who look back without flattery. His work is held by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
