Arthur Atkins (1873, Queens Ferry, England - 1899, Piedmont, California)[1] was an American tonalist landscape painter.
Between 1897 and August 1898, Atkins visited England and France and studied art in Paris.
He was mostly influenced by the paintings of Édouard Manet and James McNeill Whistler while in Europe.
Atkins' favorite landscape subject were the rolling hills near Piedmont, across the bay from San Francisco.
[1] A book of Atkins' notes and letters, from his visit to Europe, by A. M. Robertson and Bruce Porter, was published in 1908.
