historical notes

Stephen James Ferris was a Philadelphia portrait painter and etcher who collected over two thousand American and European prints.
Ferris acquired work by, among others, both Jean-Léon Gérôme, for who he named his son after, Mariano Fortuny, Flameng, Houbraken, Jacquemart, and Rembrandt. Ferris’s collection included original and reproductive prints dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries and was strong in figure studies and portrait subjects.
Stephen Ferris married Elizabeth Moran, the sister of artists Edward, John, Peter, and Thomas Moran, and the Ferris collection includes works by Moran family members in addition to the etched work of both Ferris’s, father and son (Jean Leon Gerome Ferris (1863-1930) was an American history painter).
