ABOUT THE PRINT
The Rhea County Courthouse (TN) in the Spring of 1978. Heritage Series, Plate IV. The Rhea County Courthouse was completed in 1890. It is the most monumental building in the county. Both Dayton and the Courthouse were made famous by the Scopes Monkey Trial, which occurred in the summer of 1925. Many reporters came to Dayton from all over the country to witness the litigation between William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow over a Tennessee statute that prohibited the teaching of anything other than the Biblical Account of Man's creation. Scopes was found guilty of violating the statute. The Courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and, in 1976, was designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior. On April 15, 1978, the people of Rhea County, Tennessee, held a grand celebration on their courthouse lawn. Many people from local and state governments and others joined hundreds of citizens in ceremonies to rededicate the historic Rhea County Courthouse at Dayton, Tennessee. The festive events of the spring day marked the end of an exhaustive building rehabilitation program that had been in progress for over a year. In the afternoon, after most of the people had departed, Artist Paul J. Long photographed the historic building and made preparatory sketches that led him to complete this painting of the Rhea County Courthouse. The painting took over 200 hours to complete and was not finished until December 1978.
"ABOUT THE ARTIST FROM SUSAN BECK"
My father, Paul J. Long, was an accomplished artist who worked in many mediums throughout his lifetime. His painting styles and subjects changed throughout his years and reflected many of the areas of Tennessee that he lived in. During his lifetime, he was a resident of the following counties in East Tennessee: Monroe, Knox, Anderson, Loudon and Blount. The works of art include prints of oil and watercolor paintings from the 1970s through the 2000s and all limited-edition fine art prints. The collection of his artwork demonstrates many of these styles and locations. My father died in 2015 at the beautiful age of 88. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
