Est: $100 - $150
Attributed to Jasper Francis Cropsey, American, 1823 to 1900, oil painting on canvas depicting a river landscape scene, 1867. Signed and dated, lower left. Framed. Jasper Francis Cropsey was an American architect and artist. He is best known for his Hudson River School landscape paintings. Cropseys interest in architecture continued throughout his life and was a strong influence in his painting, most evident in his precise arrangement and outline of forms. But Cropsey was best known for his lavish use of color and, as a first-generation member from the Hudson River School, painted autumn landscapes that startled viewers with their boldness and brilliance. As an artist, he believed landscapes were the highest art form and that nature was a direct manifestation of God. He also felt a patriotic affiliation with nature and saw his paintings as depicting the rugged and unspoiled qualities of America. One of a kind artwork.

Exhibition “19th Century American Topographic Painters,” Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, November 21, 1974-January 5, 1975, no. 33. Literature 19th Century American Topographic Painters, an exhibition catalogue, University of Miami, Cora Gables, 1974, p. 12 (illustrated). Anthony Speiser et al., Jasper Francis Cropsey: Catalogue Raisonné: Works in Oil, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York; and Newington-Cropsey Foundation, New York, 2013, Vol. II, p. 24, no. 851 (illustrated as NCF 626) Lot Essay The present lot will be accompanied by a copy of a Letter of Authenticity written by Mr. Kenneth W. Maddox, dated May 10, 2004, in which the work is described as being included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Cropsey's work. Cropsey, a prominent figure of the Hudson River School, earned the nickname "The Painter of Autumn" for his frequent depictions of the season. But beyond grand vistas of the Hudson Valley, Cropsey found inspiration closer to home in the Greenwood Lake region, straddling the border between New Jersey and New York. It is here that the artist offered a more intimate version of autumn. Cropsey's Greenwood Lake landscapes are characterized by a rich tapestry of color. He reveled in the fiery oranges, deep reds, and burnished yellows that transformed trees and foliage, often setting them against a backdrop of forested mountains or under a blush-colored sky, as in the present painting. As in his most compelling works, light serves a vital function; here, sun filters through the clouds, casting long shadows and illuminating the mirror-like surface of the water. Cropsey's Greenwood Lake paintings were more than just picturesque panoramas. He regularly included figures–hunters with their dogs, families picnicking or, here, a man and his horse en route to a rustic cabin–which serve as counterpoints to the splendor of the season. These figures add a sense of scale and narrative, and are suggestive of a (seemingly) harmonious relationship between nature and culture. While Cropsey's larger-scale works celebrate the vastness of the American landscape, works like Landscape, Near Greenwood Lake, N.J. extol the serene beauty of a region that fascinated him throughout his career.

Both painting and frame in good condition. In frame, the painting measures 25 1/2"17 1/2". Sight measurement is 20" by 12". The photos of the painting have been taken in different levels of light hence the differences. 12/29: Have had requests of a high resolution photo or two and a photo of the back and these are included at the end. In looking at the back, we do not see any evidence of relining of the painting and everything appears to be original with no repair work or patches. We do not know the provenance of the early days of the painting but in 1991, when Tolie's mother passed and there was an inventory of her estate, this painting was listed. So, we know that the family had this painting prior to 1991. Wished we knew when it was purchased by the family, but we don't.

JASPER FRANCIS CROPSEY RIVER LANDSCAPE WATERCOLOR & GOUACHE ON PAPER
Est: -
Jasper Francis Cropsey (1823 - 1900) River Landscape Watercolor & Gouache on Paper. Signed in pencil on reverse of sheet. Jasper Francis Cropsey, in the company of Frederic Edwin Church, Asher B. Durand, and John F. Kensett, was one of the most respected painters of the Hudson River School. At the peak of his career, from the mid-1840s through the 1870s, Cropsey enjoyed fame in both England and the United States for his views of American scenery, particularly his richly colored pieces capturing the glories of the American autumn. At the age of thirteen he made and submitted a scale model of a country house to the annual exhibition of the Mechanics' Institute in New York City. His model won a medal and brought the youth to the attention of New York architect Joseph Trench. Cropsey served a five-year apprenticeship with Trench, who encouraged him to embellish his architectural drawings with landscape backgrounds and figures. To this end, Trench enabled Cropsey to study drawing with the landscape painter Edward Maury. Although the practice of architecture supported Cropsey throughout the 1840s, it was the rendering of his designs on paper rather than the design process itself that ignited his passion. His success with the watercolor medium kindled a desire to paint with oils, which Cropsey took up in 1841. He learned to handle the new medium by copying from existing works of art, which included his own watercolors as well as Dutch paintings and engravings of paintings by Claude Lorrain. Cropsey was a founding member of the American Water Color Society in 1866. His other memberships included the Century Club, the Lotos Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Artists Aid Society. Major examples of his work are in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Peabody Institute, Baltimore; the New-York Historical Society; Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.
