He painted realistic quiet family scenes and narrative subjects and often depicted African Americans.Table of ContentsBiography[edit]Selected works[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Biography[edit]  Hovenden was born in Dunmanway, Co. Cork, Ireland.[1] His parents died at the time of the Great Famine and he was placed in an orphanage at the age of six.  Apprenticed to a carver and gilder, he studied at the Cork School of Design.In 1863, he immigrated to the United States.  He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City.[1] He moved to Baltimore in 1868 and then left for Paris in 1874.  He studied at the \u00c9cole des Beaux Arts under Cabanel, but spent most of his time with the American art colony  at Pont-Aven in Brittany led by Robert Wylie, where he painted many pictures of the peasantry.[1]Returning to America in 1880, he became a member of the Society of American Artists and an Associate member of the National Academy of Design[1] (elected Academician in 1882).  He married Helen Corson in 1881, an artist he had met in Pont-Aven, and settled at her father’s homestead in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia.  She came from a family of abolitionists and her home was a stop on the Underground Railroad.  Their barn, later used as Hovenden’s studio, was known as “Abolition Hall” due to its use for anti-slavery meetings.[2]He was commissioned by Mr. Robbins Battell[3] to paint a historical picture of the abolitionist leader  John Brown.  He finished The Last Moments of John Brown (at least two copies exist, in the collection of the deYoung Museum in San Francisco and also the Metropolitan Museum in New York)[1] in 1884.[4]  Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel in 1897. Accession Number 97.5 Mrs. Stoeckel was Mr. Battell’s daughter. His Breaking Home Ties, a picture of American farm life, was engraved with considerable popular success.[1]In 1886, he was appointed Professor of Painting and Drawing at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, replacing Thomas Eakins who was dismissed due to his use of nude models.  Among Hovenden’s students were the sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder and the leader of the Ashcan School, Robert Henri.Hovenden was killed at the age of 54, along with a ten-year-old girl, by a railroad locomotive at a crossing near his home in Plymouth Meeting.  Newspaper accounts reported that his death was the result of a heroic effort to push the girl in front of the train,[1] while a coroner’s inquest determined his death was an accident.[2]A Pennsylvania state historical marker in Plymouth Meeting interprets Abolition Hall and Hovenden.[5]Hovenden House, Barn and Abolition Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[6]  He is buried across the street in the cemetery of the Plymouth Friends Meetinghouse.[7]Selected works[edit]Self-Portrait of the Artist in His Studio, 1875, Yale University Art GalleryImage Seller, 1876, Metropolitan Museum of ArtNews from the Conscript, 1877Loyalist Peasant Soldier of La Vend\u00e9e, 1877A Breton Interior, 1793, 1878, Metropolitan Museum of ArtIn Hoc Signo Vinces, 1880, Detroit Institute of Arts, MichiganThe Old Version, 1881, San Francisco Museum of Fine ArtSunday Morning, 1881, San Francisco Museum of Fine ArtChloe and Sam, 1882, Amon Carter MuseumDeath of Elaine,[8] 1882, Westmoreland Museum of American Art, PennsylvaniaThe Last Moments of John Brown, 1882\u20134, Metropolitan Museum of ArtTaking His Ease, 1885, San Francisco Museum of Fine ArtI Know’d It Was Ripe, 1885, Brooklyn MuseumBreaking Home Ties, 1890, Philadelphia Museum of ArtBringing Home the Bride, 1893, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, MinnesotaJerusalem the Golden, 1894, Metropolitan Museum of ArtReferences[edit]External links[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/thomas-hovenden-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Thomas Hovenden – Wikipedia"}}]}]
