About the Item
Signed lower left and dated 1921.
This radiant landscape bursts with Beal’s signature vibrancy and plein air spontaneity. In the foreground left, a flourishing mango tree fans its lush canopy, its deep green leaves touched with amber sunlight. The trunk, painted with swift, expressive strokes, roots the viewer in place—beneath its shade, one can almost hear the rustle of tropical breezes.
Beyond the tree, the middleground and background unfold into a sun-drenched Puerto Rican village. Colorful native buildings, with ochre roofs and sun-faded walls. The terrain undulates gently, crowned by distant hills that shimmer under the intense Caribbean sun. Beal’s brushwork captures not just the light, but the atmosphere itself: the humid warmth radiates from the canvas.
About the artist:
From an affluent and artistic family, Reynolds Beal and his younger brother Gifford both made careers in art. Beal was born in the Bronx and spent his childhood exploring and sketching the East River. He studied marine engineering at Cornell, and art at the Art Students League with John Twachtman and with William Merritt Chase at the Shinnecock School.
For many years he was torn between careers in art and ship designing, though his family's affluence allowed him to maintain a lifestyle as both and artist and a yachtsman. He spent years between marine-related jobs and life as an artist, often plagued by problems related to "nervous prostation". He traveled and painted with Childe Hassam, William Glackens and H. Dudley Murphy, and with Hassam, Bellows, Sloan, Glackens and Prendergast helped found the Society of Independent Artists and the New Society of Artists.
From 1900 to 1907, he painted almost exclusively at the artist's community in Noank, Connecticut with Henry Ward Ranger. After 1912, Beal focused more on the Hudson River Valley, where he painted the colorful and whimsical scenes of the traveling circuses that came through the region. For many years he lived and painted harbor scenes in Rockport and Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Beal is considered both an Impressionist and an adventurous Modernist. His colorful watercolors and oils are rendered in spontaneous, mosaic-like brush strokes. He was most active artistically from 1910 to 1920, after which he became ill. After 1940 he did little painting. He died in Rockport, Massachusetts in 1951. He is widely known for a series of circus and carival paintings he produced.
Organizations and exhibits:
Beal was a member of the New York City artist organizations -- Salmagundi Club, Lotus Club, Century Club, National Academy of Design (elected 1909), National Arts Club, Brooklyn Society of Etchers, and the American Water Color Society; the Boston Art Club, North Shore Art Association (Gloucester, MA) and the Society of American Engravers. In 1916 Reynolds Beal, along with Glackens and others, founded the Society of Independent Artists (NYC). Beal exhibited at the Salmagundi Club (1902, Hurley Prize); Clausen Gallery (NYC, solo, 1905); The Panama–Pacific International Exposition (San Francisco, CA, 1915); Vose Galleries (Boston, solo, 1916); Musée du Luxembourg (Paris, France, 1919); and the Fitchburg Art Center (Fitchburg, MA, 1944).

Reynolds Beal
Known as one of the early American Impressionists, artist Reynolds Beal was born in 1867 and studied at Cornell from 1885–89 with a focus on naval architecture. His formal art training would come later as he studied under William Merritt Chase at Chase's school in Shinnecock, Long Island, in 1896.
Beal's love of yachting resulted in paintings of maritime scenes from Rockport to the Hudson, as well as the Caribbean, from his own sailing boat that doubled as his studio. His first solo exhibition took place at the Clauson Gallery in New York City in 1905. In 1917 he was a founding member of the Society of Independent Artists. Beal was one of the few Americans chosen to have their work exhibited at the Luxembourg Museum in Paris in 1919.
Beal was a member of the Salmagundi Club, the American Watercolor Society, the Society of American Engravers, the National Arts Club and was elected an associate member of the National Academy of Design. He also founded the New Society of Artists, which consisted of 50 of the most influential painters of that time, among them, Childe Hassam, Maurice Prendergast, George Bellows and William Glackens.

Landscape and figure painter William Partridge Burpee was born in Rockland, Maine on April 13, 1846. As a young man, he was educated in Rockland schools and in the Kents Hill Academy in Readfield, Maine. He exhibited a great deal of interest as a youth in painting and drawing, In the late 1870s, he studied with marine painter, William Bradford (1823-1894). Burpee's early work of the 1880s reflects Bradford's influence as well as other painters such as Martin Johnson Heade, Fitz Hugh Lane, Frederic Edwin Church, A. T. Bricher and F. A. Silva.
After briefly advertising himself as an artist in the Rockland City Directory in 1882, Burpee appeared that year in Boston. By September 1, 1885, he was painting figures on Lynn Beach...
