Oil on canvas. Signed 'Arthur Parton 1882' (lower left). Catalogue Note: Arthur Parton was a successful artist from Hudson, New York who began his career as a Hudson River artist and became one of the few artists who was able to make the transition to the more fluid and poetic style initiated in this country by George Inness, commonly known as the Barbizon School.After the American Civil War, many American artists rejected the antebellum Hudson River School concept of landscape as an expression of God's bounty. Instead, they looked abroad for inspiration, especially to the Barbizon School of French landscape painting. With loose and heavily loaded brushstrokes they painted personal and romantic responses to the moods of the French countryside. The dominant tones of grey-blue and the darker greens were characteristic of this style. |
