John Francis Murphy
(Oswego, NY, 1853 - 1921, New York City, NY)
J. Francis Murphey was a largely self-taught American landscape painter. He was born in Oswego, New York, and made the countryside his subject matter. His early work has heavy influences of the Barbizon style. His later works however, are done in more of a tonalist style which declined in popularity and took his reputation with it in the 1930s and 1940s. At age seventeen, Murphey moved from New York and found a job in Chicago as a billboard painter. He returned to the East Coast soon after, and opened a studio in New York City. The following year he exhibited for the first time at the National Academy of Design, to which he became an annual contributor. In 1885 he was elected a member of the Salmagundi Club, where he would be for fifty years. He showed his works in many exhibitions and received many awards.
