James Hart's large, impressive landscapes painted during the 1860s are noted for their meticulous attention to detail, soft gentle colors, and light-filled skies. These idyllic scenes of nature (note the three frolicking bears) glorified the conception of the American wilderness and were eagerly sought by collectors.
