About William Parsons Winchester Dana

  • William Parsons Winchester Dana (18 February 1833 – 8 April 1927) was an American artist who settled in France.
  • Later he emigrated to London, and became a naturalised British Subject.
  • His paintings were generally small, painted with oils on canvas in an anglicized tradition.
  • Dana's transatlanticism influenced Monet and the French impressionists, whom he met in Paris and Normandy.
  • But his most enduring feature as an artist was a highly personalised, naturalistic style, intimate and affective of familiarity.
  • Yet he remained very much in the romantic vein of older painters from an earlier period, essentially conservative, but observant of mminute detail.
