Titled "Academy" after Madrazo (#62), this expressive portrait study depicts a bearded man rendered with rich lighting, strong contrast, and deep tonal values.

ABOUT THE ARTIST & HISTORY:
Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1950, Dennis Sheehan received his artistic education in the classic traditions of the Boston School. A member of the Guild of Boston Artists, Sheehan is widely recognized as one of the premier modern American Tonalists.
While best known for his atmospheric landscapes that invoke the French Barbizon School and 19th-century American Tonalism, Sheehan's foundation is built on rigorous academic study of light, dark values, and brushwork. His technique focuses on generating light from deep shadow areas rather than simply recording surface reflections.
Sheehan's paintings have been featured in major art publications, including the cover of American Artist. His original works are held in prominent public and private collections across the country, including the permanent collection of The White House.
