Artist of the day: Born on December 5, 1848, Fritz von Uhde was a German painter whose innovative blending of Realism and Impressionism set him apart in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Initially a military officer, Uhde turned to art after meeting Carl von Piloty and traveling to Paris, where he was influenced by French Impressionists.
Fritz von Uhde passed away on February 25, 1911, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and humanism in art. Today, his work reminds us of the power of art to bring the sacred into the familiar.

Artist of the Day: Gilbert Stuart (1755–1828): Born on December 3, 1755, Gilbert Stuart captured the faces of America’s Founding Fathers with unparalleled skill.
