Stevenson Memorial
''Stevenson Memorial'' is a 1903 oil painting by the American artist Abbott Handerson Thayer, intended to commemorate the writer Robert Louis Stevenson. Though Thayer initiated several paintings with the intent of honoring Stevenson, ''Stevenson Memorial'' is the only version to survive the artist's revisions.
==Description==
Abbott Thayer was moved by the writing of Robert Louis Stevenson, whose dramatic characterizations of human conflict resonated with the artist.〔(Smithsonian American Art Museum )〕 Thayer painted ''Stevenson Memorial'' in his studio in Dublin, New Hampshire. The painting features a young woman (Bridget Price, nicknamed Bessie Price) clothed in a classical white gown, embellished with wings and a halo. The rock that she sits upon bears the word ''VAEA'', and in the darkness behind her is a firework.〔(Murray, Richard. )〕 ''VAEA'' refers to a mountain Mount Manadnock, atop which Stevenson was buried after his death in 1894.〔Ross, 69〕 Although he later painted over them, originally 〔(Antiques and the Arts )〕 After its completion the painting was exhibited in museums across the country, but is now featured in the Smithsonian.〔
