John Henry Twachtman

John Henry Twachtman (1853 - 1902) was active/lived in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio.  John Twachtman is known for Landscape and portrait painting, illustrator.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, John Twachtman became a leading Impressionist and Tonalist painter of atmospheric landscapes of the late 19th century.  He was a founding member of Ten American Painters, a group that broke away from the disciplines of the Academy of Design in New York City.  Art historian William Gerdts described Twachtman as "the most consistently admired of all the Impressionists painters until the denunciation of Impressionism in American in the wake of more avant-garde developments.(108).

He first studied at the Ohio Mechanics Institute, and in 1874 began to paint with Frank Duveneck, an artist of the Munich School of direct, impasto brushwork, often in dark tones.  In 1875, Twachtman went to Europe and studied at the Royal Academy in Munich and in 1877, went with Duveneck and William Merritt Chase to Venice.  A year later, he taught at Duveneck's school in Florence, and in 1881 went to Holland with Julian and John Weir.
