From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Kronberg (1872-1965) was an American figure painter. He was born in Boston, studied at the Boston Museum School, at the Art Students' League, New York, and at the Académie Julian under Laurens and Constant. Establishing himself in Boston, he was appointed instructor in the portrait class of the Copley Society, Boston. Among his best-known works are "Behind the Footlights" (Pennsylvania Academy, Philadelphia) and "The Pink Sash" (Metropolitan Museum, New York). Kronberg is represented in the Gardner collection, Boston, and in the museums of Boston and Indianapolis. His work shows the influence of his French training - his composition is good and his color soft and harmonious, yet with decided contrasts.
