MADISON AVENUE, 56TH TO 571m STREET NEW YORK CITY DANIEL RIDGWAY KNIGHT AMERICAN: 1845—1924 ANIEL RIDGWAY KNIGHT was born at Philadelphia in 1845, and entered the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, later passing to the atelier Gleyre in Paris; he spent three years, in addition, at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, finishing his studies at the British Academy in Rome. After a period of teaching in America, he went again to Paris in 1871, where he formed the acquaint- ance of Meissonier, who was to exert on his work a considerable in- fluence. He died in Paris in 1924, after a long life spent almost entirely in his adopted country, in the pleasant valley of the Seine. — Many of his paintings were exhibited in the Paris salons of vari- ous years, and he became known for his models-—peasant girls for the most part—and his individual manner of interpreting their emo- tions and their occupations; and for his rendering of the scenery of the Norman countryside. Some of the paintings in the present exhibition, having been re- moved from the studio of the late artist, are studies in various stages of completion; many of these unfinished pictures show evidence of the later maturity of his manner.
