Robert Loftin Newman
Robert Loftin Newman is an American painter whose work belongs to the later nineteenth century, when genre and religious subjects were often treated with a soft, intimate touch. His surviving paintings are chiefly in oil on canvas, and the single example held here, Madonna and Child and Little Saint John, dates to 1894. The archive therefore preserves one oil painting from that year, a modest but telling glimpse of his handling of sacred subject matter.
