About the Artist
Ross Sterling Turner is as much remembered today for his role as teacher as he is for his watercolor and oil paintings. In addition to offering private art lessons from his studio in Boston, he also taught in the architecture department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1884 to 1914. In 1909, Turner joined the faculty at the Massachusetts Normal Art School, where he would influence many young artists in the following years.
Born in upstate New York in 1847, Turner did not begin his career as a fine artist, but rather as a draftsman for the U. S. Patent Office. In 1876, he traveled to Europe and studied painting in Munich, first at the Royal Academy and later with Joseph Frank Currier, who taught lessons for American students alongside Frank Duveneck. Though he never worked under Duveneck personally, Turner met him and William Merritt Chase while in Munich and associated with many of the “Duveneck Boys” painting in Germany and Italy in the late 1870s. During his time in Europe, Turner also explored and painted in Venice, Florence and Rome, and eventually returned to the Unites States by 1883, settling in Boston.
There he was privileged to work with another great master, Childe Hassam, and became part of the artist colony surrounding Celia Thaxter’s summer home on the Isles of Shoals. Thaxter’s impressive garden on Appledore Island became a favorite subject for many of her artist friends, including Turner, whose affinity for wildflowers and rambling greenery would be revealed in many of his landscapes from this time forward.
