His career took off with his work on the dome of the manufacturer's and liberal arts building at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, which elicited commissions from the likes of the Vanderbilts and Drexel for their personal residences along with a host of other private and civic projects such as the grand ballroom of the waldorf - astoria hotel, new york; the detroit public library, detroit, michigan and the state capitols of iowa, minnesota and wisconsin. A leader in the american renaissance movement, he is best known for painting the murals on the dome of the library of congress, main reading room in washington, dc. He was a member of numerous arts organizations, including the national academy of design, the national society of mural painters in which he served as president from 1909 to 1914, the american academy of arts & letters, and the national institute of arts & letters. He served from 1920 to 1926, as president of the national academy of design. He also served as president of the society of mural painters, and of the society of american artists.

This painting was commissioned by Mr. Everett Morss, boston, massachusetts in 1914. Everett Morss (1865-1933) was a boston industrialist. He graduated from m.i.t. in 1885 and married Ethel Reed in 1891.The Morss family had three children: Constance, Everett, Jr. and Noel. Everett Morss went on to become president of simplex wire & cable company (manufacturer of the first transatlantic telephone cable). Morss also served as president of the franklin foundation as well as a member of the corporation of m.i. t, as well as its' treasurer (and briefly acting president, while MIT. was between presidents), as well as director of several local utility companies and other businesses. He served on the war industries board during world war I. The Commission: Morss was an MIT. alumnus and admired Edwin Blashfields talent and renown, Everett Morss commissioned seven murals for his commonwealth avenue, boston home in 1914. The three largest paintings were installed in the Morss dining room. The figures in the works were actually modelled on portraits of Ethel Morss and their three children in an idealized setting. As set forth in the family records, the three attendants around the central figure bear the symbols of hospitality presented to arriving guests in the fifteenth century: the palm of welcome, the basin and ewer, and the golden ship of sweetmeats. The family portraits in the works bore such a resemblance to the family, that the Morss family sent their friends christmas cards depicting the painting. Mrs. Morss noted on the back of one card that 'the Morss family never looked so grand, except for Polly [the familys' parrot] at the base who sees all, and more too! ' The following year, all seven paintings were displayed at a special exhibition at the Art Institute of chicago, and the three large paintings were exhibited later that year at the Detroit Museum of Art. Having enjoyed Blashfields' mural decorations in his own home, in 1923, Everett Morss funded Blashfields full-wall murals in MIT' s Walker Memorial (in the space now known as Morss hall). The central panel entitled 'Alma Mater' depicts allegories of various branches of knowledge and the pair of flanking panels are allegorical portrait works featuring likenesses of Francis A. Walker and his wife Exene Evelyn Stoughton Walker.

ARTIST: EDWIN HOWLAND BLASHFIELD (1848-1936) SIZE: 19 1/8 x 25 7/8 in./48.5 x 65.7 cm PRINTER: Sackett & Wilhelms, New York DESCRIPTION: The Hudson-Fulton Celebration of 1909 was an event that actually began as a 1907 celebration of the 100th anniversary of Robert Fulton's first successful demonstration of his steamboat, the Clermont, on the Hudson River in 1807. However, the centennial festival was delayed by two years in order to incorporate the 300th anniversary of the European exploration of what is now the Hudson River. The Englishman Henry Hudson boarded the Half Moon under the employ of the Dutch East India Company to find a "northwest passage" to the Orient. Replicas of both vessels were constructed for the exposition, which was officially funded by the state legislature of New York as the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. In summation: Hudson to the left, Fulton to the right, river-worthy replicas cradled by the Apollonian embodiment of industry. And what better way to get to a river pageant than by rail—namely the New York Central Lines. (Art Nouveau; American; New York; Ships/Sea; Trains; World's Fairs/Expositions)
