The Veronese Print. Artist: J. Carroll Beckwith (American, Hannibal, Missouri 1852-1917 New York). Dimensions: 10 7/8 x 8 1/8 in. (27.6 x 20.6 cm). Date: ca. 1890.Beckwith studied painting in Paris with the French portraitist Carolus-Duran (1837-1917), who also taught John Singer Sargent. Carolus-Duran encouraged his students to search for artistic role models among the great masters of the past. Beckwith suggests his admiration for the Renaissance painter Paolo Veronese (1528-1588) by using a print of the lower portion of his Madonna in Glory with Saint Sebastian and Other Saints (Church of San Sebastiano, Venice) as a backdrop for this portrait sketch. Beckwith's use of Italian art signifies his own sophistication and erudition, and it may also suggest that the young woman (model Minnie Clark) is a modern Madonna. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
