"J David: Capturing the Beauty of America's Landscapes, 1883" Step into the world as we embark on a visual journey through some of America's most breathtaking landscapes. In 1883, artist Matthew Somerville Morgan took us to Saratoga Lake for an exhilarating duck-shooting adventure. The vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back in time. As we move westward, grain vessels leaving Chicago mesmerize us with their grandeur. The hustle and bustle of this bustling city are beautifully juxtaposed against the calmness of Lake Michigan in Charles E. H Bonwill's masterpiece - View of Milwaukee Bay. Milwaukee River takes center stage next, showcasing its serpentine beauty that flows gracefully through the heartland. Buffalo Creek invites us to gaze out into its vastness, while Buffalo Harbor offers a glimpse into the maritime life that thrived during this era. Sunset Rock in Catskill Mountains captures our hearts with its ethereal charm, painted by none other than Charles E. H Bonwill himself. We then find ourselves amidst Main Street in Buffalo opposite majestic churches - a testament to architectural marvels standing tall even today. The proposed bridge across Hudson at Poughkeepsie beckons us towards new horizons, symbolizing progress and connectivity during these transformative times. Poughkeepsie itself exudes small-town charm with hints of urban development peeking through. G. Wyand transports us to the entrance of Highlands near Newburgh where nature reigns supreme; every brushstroke capturing its raw magnificence effortlessly. Finally, Grand Canyon leaves us awestruck as G. Wyand immortalizes one of nature's greatest wonders on canvas. Join J David on this artistic voyage through time as we celebrate these masterpieces from 1883 - each stroke telling a story about America's diverse landscapes and rich history.
