Daniel Ridgway Knight, who studies art in Philadelphia, Italy, and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, founds his own studio in Poissy in 1872, after his military service in the Civil War of America. During his years of apprenticeship, he is a pupil of Alexandre Cabanel, Charles Gleyre and the well-known history painter Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier. Knight's works are on display at the National Academy of Design in New York and very regularly at the Paris Salons, where he is also awarded several honors. In his time in Poissy, Daniel Ridgway Knight likes to paint in the open air. In this context, everyday depictions of peasants and farmhands are particularly close to his heart. These are reminiscent of Jean-François Millet, through whom Knight learns to know the Barbizon School. The painter, who finally settles in Rolleboise, has huge success with is genre paintings.
