Chester Dale (May 3, 1883 – December 16, 1962)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The National Gallery of Art;; Chester Dale )〕 was an American banker and patron of the arts. Dale earned large sums from working for the New York Stock Exchange, allowing him to collect a group of 19th and 20th-century French paintings. Although he considered establishing a private museum, he donated a part of his collection to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in 1941. The rest of his collection was bequeathed to the National Gallery upon his death.〔, page 373; and National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), pages 40-41.〕 ==Career== Dale was born in 1883, and started his financial career at the age of fifteen, as a runner for the New York Stock Exchange. At the age of 27 he married Maud Murray, a painter and critic, who introduced him to the idea of collecting modern art. In time he acquired assets that included utilities, railroads, and municipal bonds in the USA and Canada. When the National Gallery of Art opened, Dale lent the gallery 22 American pictures, and within a few months, two rooms of French Impressionist paintings were established. Upon the request of painter George Bellows, Dale agreed to sit for an oil on canvas painting in 1922, depicting Dale holding a golf club. Both Dale and Bellows were semi-professional athletes in their younger years.〔 In 1962, the long term loans of major artists who worked in Paris from the mid-19th century through the mid-20th century were left to the gallery at the bequest of Dale. Included in the works that Dale bequeathed to the gallery were works by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Claude Monet, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=From the Tour: Founding Benefactors of the National Gallery of Art )〕
