Artist William Merritt Chase

Chase returned back to the United States in 1878 and opened a studio in New York City. He was a member of the Tilers, a group of artists including Winslow Homer, J. Alden Weir and Arthur Quartley. He often painted portraits of his family, his wife Alice and his 8 children.

Chase, who spent his summers in Shinnecock, would often use this setting as a subject “The Chase Homestead at Shinnecock” is a perfect example of his landscape technique.
