Eastman Johnson

Eastman Johnson was a nineteenth-century American artist. He was known as a master of domestic and portrait genres. Johnson was a proponent of realism in art, his style was greatly influenced by the works of the Dutch and Flemish painters of the 17th century. Contemporaries often called him the "American Rembrandt".

Eastman Johnson in his paintings depicted for posterity many prominent historical figures and everyday life of his contemporaries - ordinary citizens of the United States. Many of his works of the domestic genre were devoted to the lives of black slaves. It was these works that brought the artist widespread fame, and in 1860 he was elected a full member of the National Academy of Design.

Johnson is one of the founders of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which now houses some of his paintings.
