La canoa a pala singola del campione (Max Schmitt in una canoa a pala singola)

Thomas Eakins American
1871
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 763
Nel 1870 Eakins, tornato a Filadelfia una volta completati gli studi in Europa, iniziò una serie di dipinti di vogatori. Questa è la prima importante opera della serie e il dipinto che gli procurò il maggior successo mai avuto prima d’allora. Probabilmente celebra la vittoria di Max Schmitt, un avvocato e abile vogatore dilettante, in una gara importante svoltasi sul fiume Schuylkill nell’ottobre 1870. Appassionato vogatore lui stesso, Eakins si raffigurò in una canoa in secondo piano. Eakins concepì il dipinto in base ai principi accademici espressi dal suo più importante maestro a Parigi, Jean-Léon Gérôme.
