About the Item

This painting was exhibited in the Christopher Pearse Cranch landscape exhibition in 2007 at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum and published and illustrated in the catalog.
Bio:
Christopher Pearse Cranch was a landscape, still life, and portrait painter who grew up in Washington DC where his father was Chief Justice of the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia. He studied art briefly with his brother, Edward, who subsequently became a lawyer, and then graduated from Columbian College in DC. From 1835 to 1842, he attended Harvard Divinity School, becoming a Unitarian minister and serving in congregations in Maine, Richmond, Washington, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Boston.
Cranch eventually gave up the ministry, and after 1840 dedicated himself to landscape painting. He spent a couple of years in New York City, and in 1846 left for Italy with his wife, Elizabeth De Windt, who encouraged his painting career.
They returned to New York City in 1849, but from 1853 to 1863 lived in Paris where Cranch worked diligently on his landscape painting and from where he took sketching trips to Italy, Switzerland and the French countryside. "He was among the first American artists to become an advocate of the Barbizon School* of landscape painting, extolling its virtues in letters published in the Crayon." (Harding, 131)
From 1863 to 1873 Cranch was active in New York City, and in spring of 1864, he was advanced to full membership in the National Academy of Design*. He maintained studios on Broadway and in his home at Fishkill, New York, and exhibited regularly at the Academy throughout the 1860s. His last entry at an Annual Exhibition was in 1872. During this time, he was also active with the Artists Fund Society* and the American Society of Painters in Water Color.
From 1873 until his death, he and his wife lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Cranch continued painting landscapes, but increasingly his interest turned to poetry and art-related essay writing. Credit: askart

- The Cove at DuskLocated in Saratoga Springs, NYSigned and dated 1877. Although born in Jamestown, New York, Mortimer Smith would become well-known as a Detroit architect and artist by the end of the nineteenth century. Little is known of Smith's earlier years; however, scholars speculate that he studied in Oberlin and Sandusky, Ohio before moving to Detroit in 1855. There, the artist flourished and became famous for his crisp landscapes of local scenery, including his beloved winter scenes. In addition to his artistic career, Smith founded a successful architectural firm by the name of Smith, Hynchman and Grylls; Smith's reputation in the visual arts was often overshadowed by his draftsmanship as an architect. Nevertheless, he was a vital force in Detroit's arts community exhibiting his works in venues including the Detroit Art...Category

- Vista From West Campton, New HampshireBy Frederick WilliamsLocated in Milford, NHA fine New Hampshire landscape by American artist Frederick Dickinson Williams (1829–1915). Frederick Dickinson Williams was born into a patrician household in Boston, Massachusetts and attended the prestigious Boston Latin School before entering Harvard University in 1846. After graduation and until 1874, Williams taught drawing and painting in the Boston Public School System as a Professor of Drawing until 1874. Williams and his wife, the former Lucia M. Hunt, of Newburyport, relocated to Paris, France, where both studied the new French art and painted landscapes and genre scenes in their studio until 1888, when Lucia died in Paris. Williams returned to the United States and settled in Boston, opening a studio in late 1888. He continued to paint in the Boston area with regular trips to the White Mountains of New Hampshire and other wilderness areas where he produced a large body of French-inspired landscapes in the manner of Corot and other contemporary French painters. In 1904, a serious fire in his Boston studio destroyed all of his inventory, including a number of award-winning canvases from his Paris sojourn. Despite this significant loss, he continued to paint. During his long and successful career, Williams exhibited his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, the Washington DC Art...Category

Literature: LeRoy Ireland, The Works of George Inness: An Illustrated Catalogue Raisonne, Austin, Texas, 1965, p. 336, no. 1324, illustrated. Michael Quick, "George Inness: A Catalogue Raisonne," Vol. II, New Brunswick, New Jersey, 2007, pp. 282-83, 311, no. 966, illustrated. George Inness, one of America's foremost landscape painters of the late nineteenth century, was born in 1825 near Newburgh, New York. He spent most of his childhood in Newark, New Jersey. He was apprenticed to an engraving firm until 1843, when he studied art in New York with Regis Gignoux, a landscape painter from whom he learned the classical styles and techniques of the Old Masters. In 1851, sponsored by a patron, Inness made a fifteen-month trip to Italy. In 1853 he traveled to France, where he discovered Barbizon landscape painting, leading him to adopt a style that used looser, sketchier brushwork and more open compositions, emphasizing the expressive qualities of nature. After working in New York from 1854 to 1859, he moved to Medfield, Massachusetts, and four years later to New Jersey, where through a fellow painter he began to experiment with using glazes that would allow him to fill his compositions with subtle effects of light. Duncan Phillips remarked on Inness’s mellow light as a unifying force, saying, “…he was equipped to modernize the grand manner of Claude and to apply the methods of Barbizon to American subjects." At this time also, Inness developed an interest in the religious theories of Emanuel Swedenborg...Category
