About the Item

We are proud to present this early work by American Impressionist George William Sotter (1879–1953), created during his time at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. This painting is a study copy of a famous work by one of his teachers, William Merritt Chase, titled At The Seaside (ca. 1892). This work is characteristic of the outdoor scenes that Chase originally painted during the 1890s on Long Island beaches. This famous work now on display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Signed lower right, G Sotter. Oil on canvas board. Frame included. Size: 23.4'' x 19.4''. Including frame: 31.1'' x 27.3'' George William Sotter (1879 - 1953) Born in Pittsburgh in 1879 to Nicholas and Katherine Sotter, George William Sotter painted the rivers and mills of that city in his early youth. He apprenticed with several stained-glass studios there prior to becoming a partner in the studio of Horace Rudy in Pittsburgh around 1901. He took leave from the studio and came to Bucks County in 1902, to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts as well as with Edward W. Redfield, the premier painter of the New Hope School. In 1903, he participated in the annual exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He continued his studies at the Academy from 1905 – 1907 under William Merritt Chase and Thomas Anshutz. George William Sotter lived in Holicong, Pennsylvania, near New Hope, in a converted 19th Century stone barn. There, in his studio, he painted landscape scenes of Bucks County, which link Sotter to the New Hope School of American Impressionism, and fashioned stained glass windows that remain extant in cathedrals, churches, and monasteries throughout the country.
