Roman Compagna is a light and luminous example of Vedder's work done circa 1860. This vignette of Roman antiquity is common subject matter for American artists of the time such as John Gadsby Chapman and John Linton Chapman. This is another work that the artist deemed important enough not to sell and kept with him until his death. In 1860 Vedder begins a friendship with Thomas H.Hotchkiss who will sadly die young at the age of 36. Also around this time the artist begins to exhibit in Florence and sells one of his works for 30.00 dollars and is commissioned to paint a portrait of Kate Field which he begins in June of 1860 and finishes in August and receives 55.00 dollars. |
