Jules Tavernier
As an illustrator, Tavernier traveled on assignment for Harper's Magazine to California in the 1870s. Eventually he continued westward to Hawaii, where he made a name for himself as a landscape and portrait painter. Tavernier's painting incorporates a romantic view of the abrupt and irrevocable changes that occurred in the conflict between cultures on the 19th century Western Frontier.
