With over fifty color reproductions of paintings, drawings, and maps, Painters in Paradise: Exploring the Caribbean Islands celebrates well-known artists such as Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), Francisco Oller (1833-1917), Winslow Homer (1836-1910), and others who lived in or traveled to the Caribbean in order to depict the dazzling splendors of these tropical islands. Ausherman discusses the lives of these formidable artists, their inspirations, what drew them to the Caribbean, and the lasting impact of their art.
