    Louis Kronberg (1872 - 1965)
    Born in Boston in 1872, Louis Kronberg displayed artistic talent at an early age. As a young adult, Kronberg attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where he was influenced by his instructors, Edmund C. Tarbell and Frank Weston Benson. From that school, he received the Longfellow Traveling Scholarship, enabling him to attend the Académie Julian in Paris, under Jean-Paul Laurens and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant. In France, Kronberg encountered the works of Edgar Degas, who became a major influence for Kronberg, who is often referred to as “The American Degas”.

    Upon returning to America, Kronberg was featured in exhibitions organized by the Boston Art Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Academy of Design. He also participated in several Paris Salons during his stay in Europe.

    By the turn of the century, Kronberg’s artwork featured subjects from the theater, especially dancers. He received a silver medal at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. In 1921, he moved to New York and became active in the Salmagundi Club. During this time, he had solo shows in New York, Boston, and Chicago and, in 1937, he received a Medal of Honor at the Paris International Exhibition for his painting, “The End of the Ballet”. He was also made a chevalier of the French Légion d’Honneur.

    Besides the theater and ballet, Kronberg also loved to paint Spanish dancers
