Salutat
''Salutat'' is an 1898 painting by Thomas Eakins (1844–1916). Based on a real-life boxing match that occurred in 1898, the work depicts a boxer waving to the crowd after the match. According to Eakins' biographer Lloyd Goodrich, ''Salutat'' is "one of Eakins' finest achievements in figure-painting."〔Goodrich, Volume II, pages 151-2.〕 The painting's title is Latin for "He greets" or "He salutes."
==Background==
Much as he had with his paintings of rowers in the 1870s, during the late 1890s Eakins turned his interest again to the male nude, this time depicting prizefighters. Eakins attended fights in 1898, and aided by sportswriters Clarence Cranmer and Henry Walter Schlichter, met with and hired fighters to pose for him.〔Goodrich, Volume II, pages 144-5.〕
The studio became a place to spar; according to Eakins's protégé the sculptor Samuel Murray, (who in 1899 made a bronze statue of Billy Smith)〔(Samuel Murray's 1899 statue of ''Turkey Point Billy Smith,'' ) retrieved March 30, 2009〕 one of the fighters, Ellwood McCloskey, would "round up fellow pugilists who had promised to pose but didn't show up":"Hey, you son of a bitch, haven't you got a date to pose for Mr. Eakins? Come on now, or I'll punch your goddamn head off."〔Goodrich, Volume II, page 145〕
"Turkey Point" Billy Smith, a featherweight who competed in over 100 bouts over the course of ten years and fought two featherweight champions, was the protagonist for ''Salutat'' as well as for ''Between Rounds''.〔
