Description
This is a reproduction of Thomas Eakins' classic, "Wrestlers" of 1899. This is one of Eakins' greatest works and the lst completed genre painting. It dramatically portrays interplay of masculine muscles in a wrestling match apparently being waged in a gymnasium. It is the last sports painting of the master as well as his last study of the male form. Eakins was fifty-five years old when this was completed. This major work is an American expression of the realistic Academecians yet it has subtle marks which extend it into a more modern realm. The half figures cut off by the right frame, the meandering length of rope in the background and the juxtaposition of taut and loosened skin all point to a modern eye. Thomas Eakins died seventeen years after he produced this painting which is in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
