EDITORS COMMENTS
Landscape, n.d. Artist: William Morris Hunt (1828-1910, American) This exquisite 19th century landscape print, created by the renowned American artist William Morris Hunt, captures the essence of tranquility and the passing of time. The atmospheric scene is set in a rural location, with trees and plants silhouetted against the backdrop of a hazy, twilight sky. The use of charcoal over watercolor, heightened with white gouache on tan laid paper, adds depth and texture to the image. Hunt was a prominent figure in the Barbizon School, a French artistic movement that emphasized the importance of painting en plein air, or in the open air. This approach allowed artists to directly observe and capture the natural world, resulting in works that convey a strong sense of atmosphere and the passage of time. The concept of capturing the changing seasons and the effects of light and weather on the landscape was a common theme in Hunt's work. In this print, the setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, while the cool tones of the trees and plants create a sense of contrast and balance. The backlit fence adds a sense of depth and perspective, while the trees and plants in the foreground draw the viewer's eye into the composition. This print is a testament to Hunt's mastery of the medium and his ability to convey the beauty and complexity of nature. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States in the 19th century. On display at the Art Institute of Chicago, this print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art or the Barbizon School. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire us with its beauty and depth.
