Europe and the Académie Julian (1882-84)
After earning $2,500 from the sale of his paintings, in 1882, at the age of 28, Dean traveled to France, where he first spent seven months on the French coast, sketching the local people and boats in Brittany. He then went on to Paris, France to study at the Académie Julian with Jules-Joseph Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger. These were two of the most influential art instructors in the world at that time. It is apparent that Dean enjoyed Europe, where he traveled primarily along the coastlines of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and England. In England, he secured an old chapel as a studio in the village of Cornwall, and finished a number commissions for "Manchester gentleman" of Mediterranean scenes.
