1860
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the United States is a 1860 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man with dark hair and a dark coat, seated in a chair. The man's face is serious, and he is looking directly at the viewer. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the subject's clothing and the chair. The background is a plain, dark color, which helps to focus the viewer's attention on the subject. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face. To learn more about the artist's use of this technique, look up Winslow Homer.
