{"title":"Starr, Sidney","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSidney Starr (1857-1925)\u003c\/strong\u003e was an English Impressionist painter who spent the latter part of his career in the United States. In addition to urban and parkland scenes, he also did portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarr was born on 10 June 1857 and did his studies at the Slade School of Fine Art, where Edward Poynter and Alphonse Legros were among his teachers. In 1874, the school awarded him their prestigious scholarship. From 1882 to 1886, he exhibited at the Royal Academy. His early works were influenced by James McNeill Whistler, in whose studio he worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Whistler left the Royal Society of British Artists in 1888, after a disagreement about the organisation's future, he took several of his associates, including Starr, Walter Sickert, Philip Steer and Theodore Roussel. Starr then joined Sickert's New English Art Club, and began painting in a more Impressionistic style. In 1889, he participated in an exhibition at the Goupil Gallery in Paris, which introduced English-style Impressionism to the French. Later that year, he won a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle for his depiction of \u003cstrong\u003ePaddington Station\u003c\/strong\u003e. His most famous work is \u003cstrong\u003eThe City Atlas\u003c\/strong\u003e, which can be found in most works on English Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1892, following the collapse of an affair with the wife of his biggest patron, he emigrated to New York, where his work was popular among collectors. He soon received several commissions, including murals for the chapel in Grace Church and 24 paintings for what is now called the Simmons Corridor at the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died on 3 March 1925 at the age of sixty-two. Some of his works can be seen in the Tate Gallery in London and the National Gallery of Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"starr-sidney-1857-1925-a-city-atlas-1889","title":"Starr, Sidney (1857-1925) - A City Atlas 1889","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the British Impressionist artist Sidney Starr.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4768 pixels wide by 5712 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/starr-sidney\" title=\"Sidney Starr\"\u003eSidney Starr\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63392036290890,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Starr_Sidney_1857-1925_-ACityAtlas1889_main.jpg?v=1788171607"},{"product_id":"starr-sidney-1857-1925-paddington-station-1886","title":"Starr, Sidney (1857-1925) - Paddington Station 1886","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the British Impressionist artist Sidney Starr.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4304 pixels wide by 5760 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/starr-sidney\" title=\"Sidney Starr\"\u003eSidney Starr\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63392047235402,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Starr_Sidney_1857-1925_-PaddingtonStation1886_main.jpg?v=1788171811"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Starr_Sidney_1857-1925.jpg?v=1788170809","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/starr-sidney.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
