El campeón de piragua individual Max Schmitt

Thomas Eakins American
1871
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 763
Tras finalizar sus estudios en Europa, Eakins regresó a Filadelfia en 1870 y empezó una serie de pinturas de piraguas. Esta es la primera obra importante de la serie y la más lograda. Probablemente conmemora la victoria de Max Schmitt, abogado y talentoso remero aficionado, en una importante competición que se desarrolló en el río Schuylkill en octubre de 1870. Remero entusiasta, Eakins se representó a sí mismo en una piragua a media distancia y aplicó los principios académicos aprendidos de su principal maestro parisino, Jean-Léon Gérôme, para estructurar la composición.
