Elijah Baxter (American/Rhode Island, 1849-1939), "Spring Fields", oil on canvas, signed lower right, 12" x 18-1/4". In a gesso and giltwood frame. Baxter was born in Hyannis, Massachusetts and, under the sponsorship of Governor William Sprague, received his training in Europe, first at the South Kensington School of the Royal College of Art in London and then the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Despite his rigorous Academic training, Baxter preferred a more plein air approach to painting. Upon completion of his studies he traveled across Italy and France, sketching and painting on site. He eventually settled in Rhode Island and opened studios in Newport and Providence. A member of the Boston Art Club, the Providence Art Club and the Newport Art Association, Baxter was also an early supporter of the Rhode Island School of Design, which has three of his paintings in their archives. Few works by Baxter remain since a devastating studio fire destroyed almost his entire life's work.
