Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849-1921) was a versatile painter known for his idealistic and allegorical works, particularly his depictions of women as angels and madonnas. His art deftly merged various art movements, including 'American Realism' seen in his detailed portrayal of figures, 'Tonalism' evident through his use of muted colors and emphasis on atmosphere, and 'Pre-Raphaelitism' seen in the idealized beauty and ethereal quality of his subjects. Thayer's work also bore the influence of 'Symbolism' and 'Impressionism,' showcasing his ability to draw from multiple artistic currents to create compelling and distinctive compositions.
