“ Bryant Chapin , 1859-1927, was a prolific artist and one of the best-known of the Fall River School.
He was a student of renowned Fall River still-life painter Robert Dunning, whose influence is evident in Chapin's paintings.
Chapin's early works often presented fruit resting on polished, reflective surfaces, with the fruit (frequently grapes and peaches) rendered in hazy forms and soft light.
Later Chapin focused strongly on form, vivid color, and subtleties of shape and light.
He often painted apples, where he could display the imperfections of the fruit in minute and realistic detail, and where his mastery of shading and light is often at its best.
Many of his later still life's depart from the mid-century taste for detailed accessories, and his compositions are staged outdoors in naturalistic light.
Like his predecessors in Fall River, he sometimes employed the use of baskets of berries, boxes, or hats.
Chapin spent most of his life in and around Providence and Fall River, where he taught at the Fall River Evening Drawing School and lectured on art, as Dunning had done before him.
His work is of high quality and represents some of the finest still life works produced by the Fall River and Providence schools."
