Biography: One of the best-known plein-air American impressionist artists, Anthony Thieme claimed, "the open air is my studio". He was born on February 20, 1888 in Rotterdam, Holland and studied in Germany under George Hacker in Dusseldorf. Later, in Turin, Italy, Giuseppe Mancini and Carlo Bini showed him more in the wonderful world of art. During this time he also operated the Thieme School of Art from 1929 to 1943. It is here that he was inspired to paint this painting entitled " Sunlight Day" which has been inscribed on the back of this painting along with Cove hill, this being the specific area in Rockport. His technique differs from most artists of his time period but it is thought to be a product of his traveling lifestyle, and being a part of the world.
