Walter Lofthouse Dean
Walter Lofthouse Dean (June 4, 1854 – March 13, 1912) was an American marine painter, commodore of the Boston Yacht Club and Vice President of the Boston Art Club. Dean was one of the most prominent members in Boston, Massachusetts of the Paint and Clay Club, the Art Club, the Society of Water Color Painters, the South Boston Art Club and was also a member of the Salmagundi Club of New York and on the Massachusetts jury of paintings for the 1900 Paris Exposition.
Dean was also one of first artists to work primarily from Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he worked for 25 summers from a large studio on Rocky Neck, and later settled year round. While Dean is primarily known for marine paintings from the Boston region, he also created a wide-range of art from his travels to France, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, England, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Dean was a well recognized artist while he was alive and was listed in the 1896 Men of Progress, the 1903 Men of Massachusetts, along with Who's Who in American Art. His canvases were seen in most of the important general exhibitions for more than a quarter century. Dean's largest painting, Peace (see below: Peace), depicting several units of the White Squadron in Boston harbor, is owned by the US Government and was exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair in May–October 1893.
Walter Lofthouse Dean died at his home in Gloucester, Massachusetts, on March 13, 1912.
Walter Lofthouse Dean was born on June 4, 1854, in Lowell, Massachusetts, in Middlesex County. He was the third son of the Honorable Benjamin Dean and Mary Ann (French) Dean, who were related to several of the best-known families of the region. Walter Dean's grandparents, Benjamin Dean and Alice Lofthouse Dean, of Clitheroe, England, moved to the United States of America in 1829, when Benjamin, an engraver and designer, entered the employ of the Merrimack Print Works.
Dean's father, Benjamin Dean was born in Clitheroe, England in 1824, and became a prominent Boston lawyer, a US Congressman and a 33-degree Mason who served as grand master of the Grand Commandery of the United States from 1880 to 1883. His mother, Mary Ann French, was born to Josiah Bowers French, a bank president and former Mayor of Lowell, and his wife, Mary Anne Stevens of Billerica, Massachusetts.
Dean had three brothers and two sisters. He never knew his oldest brother, Josiah French Dean, who died before the age of two. His second oldest brother, Benjamin Wheelock Dean, was a contractor who married Annie Page of South Boston. His younger sister, Clitheroe, was born in South Boston and married Charles L. James of Brookline. His youngest brother, Josiah Stevens Dean married May Lillian Smith in 1888 and became a prominent Boston lawyer and judge who died in 1941. Dean's youngest sister, Mary Dean, was born in Lowell and married Walter Tufts.
Dean married Katharine Bates Whiting of Boston on July 1, 1874 and together they had two daughters, May (1875) and Clitheroe (1879).
