American Theodore Robinson (1852-1896) studied at the Chicago School of Design & then at the National Academy of Design in New York, before he left on his first trip to France in 1876. Returning to New York 3 years later, he taught painting & worked on mural decorations with John La Farge & Prentice Treadwell.
