Game of Checkers 1897

Game of Checkers
1897

Received his major art instruction in Paris under Adolphe Bouguereau, Joseph Fleury and Gabriel Ferrier.
Had a studio in the Sherwood Studio building in New York; became known as a portrait, genre and mural artist who worked in oil and fresco media.
His genre scenes reflected the daily activity of ordinary people such as in the ‘Game of Checkers’ capturing a casual moment of two friends at the checkerboard; however, Whipple’s focus appeared to be more on the portraits of his characters than the checkers game as the men take precedence in the pictorial image.
Among his major works were the realistic portraits of Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt and Generals Nelson A. Miles and Grenville M. Dodge.
He received an important commission to restore the Brumidi-Costaggini mural paintings in the senate wing of the United States Capitol building in Washington, DC; he spent seven years from 1921 until 1928 retouching the decorations.
Whipple also painted Secretary Elkins from life in a portrait that was quite unique compared to his portraiture style of other known personages.
