Description:
|
Gifford belonged to the second generation of 19th-century Romantic landscape painters who resided principally in New York State, often referred to collectively as the Hudson River school. Gifford is usually grouped with the Luminists, a subgroup among the school, however his treatment of light is often filtered through hazy veils of moisture, which helps establish an overall tonal unity in the picture.
