Popular for his deeply sensitive portraits and breathtaking landscapes, the artist was most recognized for his contribution to honor the 104th Massachusetts Infantry that performed with great distinction during World War I. His extraordinary murals line the walls of the third floor halls of the Massachusetts State House Legislative Chambers.
