|
||||||
| The Gross Clinic (1875) is considered the masterpiece of American realist painter Thomas Eakins. The painting was rejected for an exhibition in Philadelphia to commemorate the centennial of American independence because it was considered too harshly realistic. The painting measures 2.4 m x 1.9 m (8 ft x 6 ft 6 in). | ||||||
