Julius LeBlanc Stewart (September 6, 1855, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - January 5, 1919, Paris, France), was an American artist who spent his career in Paris. A contemporary of fellow expatriate painter John Singer Sargent, Stewart was nicknamed "the Parisian from Philadelphia."〔D. Dodge Thompson, "Julius L. Stewart, a 'Parisian from Philadelphia'", The Magazine ''Antiques'' (November 1986), pp. 1046-58.〕 His father, the sugar millionaire William Hood Stewart, moved the family from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Paris in 1865, and became a distinguished art collector and an early patron of Fortuny and the Barbizon artists. Julius studied under Eduardo Zamacois as a teenager, under Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École des Beaux-Arts, and later was a pupil of Raymondo de Madrazo. Stewart's family wealth enabled him to live a lush expatriate life and paint what he pleased, often large-scaled group portraits. The first of these, ''After the Wedding'' (Drexel University Art Collection, 1880), showed the artist's brother Charles and his bride Mae, daughter of financier Anthony J. Drexel, leaving for their honeymoon. Subsequent group portraits depicted his friends — including actresses, celebrities and aristocrats — often with a self-portrait somewhere in the crowd. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1878 into the early 20th century, and helped organize the "Americans in Paris" section of the 1894 Salon. ''The Baptism'' (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1892), which reportedly depicts a gathering of the Vanderbilt family, was shown at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, and received acclaim at the 1895 Berlin International Exposition. He painted a series of sailing pictures aboard James Gordon Bennett, Jr.'s yacht ''Namouna''. The most accomplished of these, ''On the Yacht "Namouna," Venice'' (Wadsworth Atheneum, 1890), showed a sailing party on deck and included a portrait of the actress Lillie Langtry. Another, ''Yachting on the Mediterranean'' (1896), set a record price for the artist, selling in 2005 for US$2,312,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Julius LeBlanc Stewart (1855-1919) )〕 Late in life, he turned to religious subjects, but Stewart is best remembered for his Belle Époque society portraits and sensuous nudes. ==Selected works== *''Horse Trough on a Cuban Plantation'' (1876), Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania *''After the Wedding'' (aka ''Parisian Wedding'') (1880), Drexel University Museum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania〔http://www.drexel.edu/univrel/drexelcollection/wedding.html〕 *''Five O'Clock Tea'' (1884), Iris & B.
