John Henry Hill
Landscape of Summer At Lake George, NY

1867

About the Item

John Henry Hill was a distinguished landscape painter and engraver of the American Pre-Raphaelite tradition. A lifelong resident of West Nyack, New York, John Henry Hill was influenced by John Ruskin and David Johnson in their realistic examinations of nature. Using a brushwork technique that called for small and drier brushstrokes, he created the differing textures of trees, water and rocks in nature. John Henry painted primarily in the geography and timeframe defined by the White Mountain and Hudson River Schools. Typical subject matter included lakes and mountains in New Hampshire and New York, although Hill painted on both coasts. He was a major still life artist of the 1860s. William Trost Richards, John La Farge and Samuel Colman were friends and contemporaries. John Henry Hill is recognized as Co-founder of the Society for the Advancement of Truth in Art. He was the author and illustrator of An Artist’s Memorial, with etchings after his father’s paintings (1888), and of Sketches from Nature. Hill exhibited in New York City and Philadelphia in the late 1850s. He exhibited at the Boston Art Club in 1882 and 1891. This is an excellent water color and comes with frame!

  • Watercolor of Natural Bridge, VA
    By Régis François Gignoux
    Located in Fredericksburg, VA
    Régis Francois Gignoux was a distinguished nineteenth-century artist whose work illuminated the sublime aspects of the American landscape. He was born in Lyon, France and trained at the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where his instructor, the history painter Paul-Hipployte Delaroche, encouraged his interest in landscape painting. He traveled to the United States in 1840, and immediately showed interest in American Landscapes. He immediately settled in New York and painted many well known sites of the United States: Niagara Falls, the Catskill Mountains, Mount Washington, and Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. He is most famous for his winter scenes, but shows beautiful landscapes year round. Gignoux quickly established himself within the leading Hudson River School circles of the time. He took sketching trips with Frederic Church and John Frederick Kensett. Today, his paintings are in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the New York Historical Society, and the Georgia Museum of Art. This beautiful piece comes from the estate of the artist in New Jersey, and Meyer Fine Art...
