499630 Portrait of Genio C. Scott, 1859 (oil on canvas)
by Johnson, Eastman (1824-1906); 102.3x127 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Johnson painted this portrait soon after settling in New York. He had spent much of the previous decade studying at the esteemed art academy in DAosseldorf, Germany, followed by an extended stay in Holland and a briefer visit to France.
Scott was a highly successful fashion illustrator and publisher, but his true passion was fly-fishing, which he regarded as " one of the highest enjoyments in life." Details in his portrait reveal his attachment to the sport: two fishing poles lean on the wall at the right; three tied flies lie on the table at the left, and a fourth is held in his hand.); Mr. and Mrs. William H.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Genio C. Scott, 1859" captures the essence of a man deeply connected to his passions. Painted by Eastman Johnson in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 102.3x127 cm and is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio. Genio C. Scott was not only a highly successful fashion illustrator and publisher but also an avid fly-fisherman who considered it one of life's greatest pleasures. Johnson skillfully incorporates details that reflect Scott's love for the sport throughout the painting. Two fishing poles lean against the wall on the right side, while three meticulously tied flies rest on a table to the left. In his hand, Scott holds another fly with great care. The artist himself settled in New York after years spent studying art in Germany and Holland before briefly visiting France. This portrait serves as a testament to both Johnson's artistic talent and his ability to capture his subject's true character. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when pursuits like fly-fishing were cherished as moments of pure joy and tranquility amidst life's hustle and bustle. It reminds us that even within our professional lives, there exists room for passion and personal fulfillment – just as it did for Genio C. Scott.
