Julian Alden Weir was an American painter and printmaker active in the later 19th and early 20th centuries.
He was one of the the painters loosely known as “American Impressionists”, and more relevantly, was a member of “The Ten” — a group of influential painters in Boston that included Frank W. Benson, Thomas Wilmer Dewing, Childe Hassam, Willard Leroy Metcalf, Robert Reid, Edmund C. Tarbell, and John Henry Twachtman (links to my posts).
Julian Alden Weir is the younger brother of John Furgeson Weir, also a well-known painter, with a somewhat more conservative style in keeping with the Hudson River School and later in his career, with the Barbizon School.
I first wrote about Julian Alden Weir back in 2008, since then more resources and better reptoductions of his work have become available on the web, though his paintings still seem to suffer in reproduction more than some of his contemporaries.
