Julian Alden Weir (1852 - 1919) was a leading American tonalist/impressionist painter and member of "The Ten". Julian formally studied art at the National Academy of Design and later matriculated to ''Les Ecole des Beaux-Arts''; he studied under Jean-Leon Gerome. Weir's reputation as a [[landscape]] painter and leader of the American Impressionists grew through the 1890s; Weir received multiple awards and acclaims in his last years, among them: honorary degrees from Princeton (1916) and Yale (1917).
