"The history of Peter Gross’s massive painting, despite its size, was not an easy one to trace. According to Fischer the painting was first shown at the Paris Salon of 1892. Gross, who considered it his masterpiece, had been living in France since 1877. Gross was born in Schnecksville in 1849. His grandfather was Durs Rudy, a well-known Pennsylvania German artist."
