Royal Hill Milleson
“Boston Windmills”

Circa 1895

About the Item

Beautiful tonalist oil on canvas painting by the well known American artist, Royal Hill Milleson. Signed lower right. Milleson moved to Boston in 1895 and this painting depicts two of the many windmills in Boston at the time. Doing some research they appear to be the Thompson mills. The painting is housed in its original gold leaf over gesso over wood frame in fine condition. Overall measurements are 19.25 by 25.25 inches. Artist Biography Royal Hill Milleson (1849 – 1936) was born on November 23, 1849 at Batavia, Ohio. In his boyhood Milleson was a journeyman printer and this led him to cartooning and sketching for newspapers, and from that he turned to painting. Milleson lived in Indianapolis from 1878 to 1895. Nothing is known of his formal art education during these years. However, he must have been noticed by the artistic community for both the John Herron Art Institute and the Indianapolis Museum of Art acquired works by the artist at a later date. Milleson moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1895. In addition to his work in the newspaper business he found time to take formal art lessons with George W. Morse of Melrose, Massachusetts. Establishing himself in Chicago by 1900, Milleson enrolled in a course of formal study in J. Francis Smith’s Academy. In 1903 he had his first painting accepted for exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago; he was to show eighteen works there between 1903 and 1915. Milleson also successfully exhibited at the Evanston Woman’s Club. While in residence in Boston, Milleson was a member of the Boston Art Club; in Chicago he became a member of the Chicago Society of Artists.
