Born in 1882, American artist Rockwell Kent is best known for his portrayal of landscapes and human figures. Kent began his formal art training at the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art and went on to study at the Art Students League. Considered an early Modernist, Kent was also influenced by Transcendentalism, which can be seen through the mystic qualities found in Rockwell Kent's prints of landscapes. Rockwell Kent prints are valuable collectors' pieces today.

Kent worked in several different mediums including painting, lithography, and wood engraving.
