Lowry Hill, Minneapolis, 1888
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that offers a glimpse into the vibrant cityscape of late 19th century Minneapolis. Created by Alexis Jean Fournier, a talented St. Paul native, this artwork showcases his exceptional ability to capture the essence of urban life on canvas. The focal point of the painting is Lowry Hill, named after Thomas Lowry, a prominent lawyer and railway businessman during that era. This affluent neighborhood was home to some of the wealthiest individuals in Minneapolis at the time. Fournier's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of these homes but also their enduring presence as some still stand today. As we explore this panoramic view, our eyes are drawn towards towering trees and charming houses nestled amidst an ever-expanding cityscape. The steeple of a distant church adds depth and character to the scene while reminding us of the spiritual aspect ingrained within society. Fournier's brushstrokes beautifully depict both architectural precision and natural beauty, capturing the essence of American progress in this bustling Midwestern city. Today, two major interstate highways serve as boundaries around Lowry Hill while preserving its historical charm. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder transports us back in time to experience Minneapolis' rich history through artistry and imagination. It serves as a testament to Fournier's talent for immortalizing moments in paint and reminds us how art can preserve memories for generations to come.
