EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Sanford Robinson Gifford's sketchbook, specifically page 14 titled "Berlin Falls September 2nd, 1859". Gifford was an esteemed American landscape painter associated with the second generation of Hudson River school artists. Residing in New York City and working at the Tenth Street Studio Building, he embarked on annual summer expeditions to picturesque destinations like the Catskills, Adirondacks, and various scenic spots in New England. During his journey in 1859 to New Hampshire and Maine, this sketchbook accompanied Gifford as he meticulously captured breathtaking sites such as Dixville Notch, the White Mountains, and Peaks Island in Casco Bay. The graphite studies within this bound volume served as essential references for his later oil paintings created back in his studio. One notable example is "A Home in the Wilderness" completed in 1866. The photograph itself highlights Gifford's artistic talent through intricate details etched onto paper. It provides viewers with a glimpse into his creative process and offers a window into the natural wonders that inspired him during this particular expedition. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this image serves as a testament to Gifford's contribution to American art history and allows us to appreciate both his skillful craftsmanship and deep appreciation for nature's beauty.
