Charles Sprague Pearce (Boston, 13 ottobre 1851 - Auvers-sur-Oise, 18 maggio 1914) è stato un pittore Statunitense🎨.
Si formò a Parigi, dove arrivò nel 1873 e divenne allievo di Léon Bonnat.
Dopo il 1885 divideva il suo tempo fra Parigi e Auvers-sur-Oise.
Ottenne riconoscimenti🎨 ai Salon di Parigi: una menzione onorevole nel 1881 ed una medaglia🎨 nel 1883.
Dipinse fiabesche, a volte simboliche scene orientali, ambientate in Egitto o in Algeria, ameni paesaggi francesi ed anche ritratti.
Eseguì decorazioni ad alfresco, per l'edificio intitolato a Thomas Jefferson, della Biblioteca del Congresso, a Washington.
Nel suo soggiorno a Capri dipinse prevalentemente vedute, a gouache o ad acquarello e fece un ritratto alla modella Rosina Ferrara, nativa di Anacapri, che sposò poi il pittore statunitense George Randolph Barse.
Sue opere si conservano al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York. | © Wikipedia
