John Frederick Peto is recognized by the art world as an American master of the trompe l’oeil or “fool the eye” school of still-life painting. He was born in Philadelphia in 1854, went to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1877 and exhibited there that same year. The artist created his works in Island Heights, NJ in virtual obscurity during his lifetime. Today, however, the work of this significant 19th century American artist can be found on the walls of major art museums across the country including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. Take a virtual tour and discover renowned American still-life artist John Frederick Peto’s historic house and studio where he painted and lived.
