Prendergast painted advertising
placards in Boston before moving to France and Italy. He returned to Boston in 1900. After
exhibiting with the Eight, he moved to New York City in 1914. His style is characterized
by "rich, powerful color applied in dots and in short brushstrokes." He painted
landscapes with figures on the seashore, Boston street scenes and sketches of Neapolitan
and Venetian life.
