"The Return of Thomas Pickering, " Important WPA-Period Oil Painting by Beck
About the Item
Full of atmosphere, rich color and drama, this fully realized oil on canvas study by Dunbar Beck was executed in preparation for his lobby painting at the US Post Office in Danvers, Massachusetts. Until it became independent in the mid-18th century, Danvers was a part of Salem and to this day it maintains its strong Colonial-era character. Beck's painting celebrated the return of Thomas Pickering, who commanded the forces from Salem and environs during the Revolutionary War, fought an important battle near Concord and became Washington's Adjutant General. Beck was an important muralist at this time and was also executed a series of murals for the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair. (Dimensions include matte and frame.)
