Eric Pape began his studies in New York under the tutelage of Emil Carlson, but soon moved to Paris to attend the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. After extensive travels in Europe and Egypt, Pape returned to America to open his own school in Boston, the Eric Pape School of Art. He was also the illustrator of such literary works as The Scarlet Letter, The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, and The Poetical Works of Madison Cawein.
Although Pape is a difficult artist to categorize, his 1910 painting, Henrietta Hammond Picking Apples, reflects a strong impressionistic influence. His wide brush strokes, use of bright colors, and lush choice of scenery reflect a unique understanding of the Impressionistic style. Pape's talent extended far beyond one given style or medium, and his works were well received by the public and in the Paris Salon where he exhibited.
