description: During Thomas Eakins's lifetime, it was his controversial teaching methods and not his splendid paintings that drew the most attention. Today this extraordinary painter, gifted sculptor, and innovative photographer is hailed as a master of realism in the tradition of Velázquez. This lively portrait comes just in time for a retrospective exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
