George Cope was a Pennsylvania artist who trained with the landscape painter Herman Herzog in 1876 before becoming a leading trompe l’oeil painter. He traveled west to the Pacific in the 1870s and upon his return set up his studio providing still life paintings for prominent Philadelphia families. Cope was a keen outdoorsman who hunted and fished and is known for the detail and accuracy of his hanging game paintings.
