Born
in Salem, Massachusetts, Frank Benson was a painter of impressionist
seascapes and landscapes, often with figures posed by his wife and
children, and also numerous hunting scenes. He spent most of his life
in the seaport town of Salem and loved trekking through the countryside
for his subject matter, especially wildlife. He is credited with making
the American sporting print a distinct art form and for being one of
the outstanding 20th-century wildlife printmakers.
