Additional text description with color and boat locations.<br><br> Known as one of the early American Impressionists, Reynolds Beal was born in 1867 and studied at Cornell from 1885 to 1889 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. His love of yachting resulted in paintings of maritime scenes from Rockport to the Hudson, as well as the Caribbean, from his sailboat that doubled as his studio. Beal's first solo exhibition was at the Clauson Gallery in New York City in 1905. In 1917 he was a founding member of the Society of Independent Artists. Reynolds Beal was one of the few Americans chosen to have their work exhibited at the Luxembourg Museum in Paris in 1919.
