EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print titled "Souvenir of Bear Island, Maine, 1850" by Alvan Fisher takes us back to the picturesque coastal landscapes of New England in the mid-19th century. Measuring at 45.2x60.5 cm, this artwork is housed in the Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA. The painting depicts Bear Island, located in Penobscot Bay and situated approximately 11 miles from Camden, Maine. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this idyllic island with its rugged coastline and pristine beaches. In the foreground, figures can be seen strolling along the shore while sailboats gracefully glide across the calm waters. Fisher's attention to detail is evident as he portrays every element with precision - from the gentle waves lapping against the shoreline to the distant tugboat transporting goods along the coast. This maritime scene exudes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia for a simpler time when nature dominated these untouched landscapes. As an American painter during this era, Fisher beautifully showcases his love for his country's natural beauty through his artistry. His work serves as a reminder of our nation's rich coastal heritage and invites viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and historical significance. This stunning print from Bridgeman Images allows us to bring home a piece of history - an exquisite representation of Bear Island that will transport us back to Maine's charming shores whenever we gaze upon it.
