Dawn of Morning, Lake George Jasper Francis Cropsey (1823-1900) |
|
|
Jasper Cropsey was at the height of his career in the 1860s when Dawn of Morning, Lake George was painted. With its luminous sky and background and the romantic, wild shore in the foreground, this painting depicts Cropsey's notion of the ideal American landscape, with the solitary Native American hunter in the wilderness. Trained as an architect, Jasper Cropsey studied watercolor and life drawing at the National Academy of Design and had turned exclusively to landscape painting by 1845. By the late 1850s and early 1860s he had begun to specialize in paintings of the autumn landscape in the Northeast, often idealized and notable for his use of vivid colors. site designed and hosted by knick.net | |
