About the Item

Prosper Louis Senat American, 1852-1925 Monhegan Oil on Canvas 20 by 36 ¼ in, w/ frame 26 ¼ by 42 ¼ in With artist's plaque Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, March 13, 1852, Prosper Louis Senat was the son of Louis Duval and Cecelia A. Wright Senat of Philadelphia. Specific information of Senat’s art education is lacking, although he is known to have studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and the South Kensington School in London. Much of his time was spent traveling to paint landscapes in Southern Italy, Egypt, Mexico, Bermuda and Jamaica. During a stay in Jamaica in 1907, he and his wife escaped an earthquake which partially destroyed their hotel in Spanish Town. In response to the tragedy, he painted a picture which sold for $150; the proceeds of which he donated to a fund for survivors, according to one newspaper account. His frequent travels spurred him to participate in International exhibitions. Among them were the Brussels Exposition of 1880, the Naples National Exposition of 1889 and the Vienna National Exhibition of 1893. A watercolor painter who also did etchings, he specialized in landscapes and paintings of marine settings and crossed the United States from Florida to California. Between 1900 and 1910 he is believed to have visited the Erie, Pennsylvania area where he sketched waterfront scenes. Senat held memberships in the Art Club of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Society of Artists, the Artists Fund Society of New York and the Salmagundi Club of New York.
