Bartholomew intended to be a painter until about 1845 when he realized that he was colorblind. He had been caring for the art collection at the Wadsworth Atheneum, the new public art museum in Hartford, Connecticut. A Colchesterm Connecticut, native, he lived in Hartford from the time he was 14, except fot some months of study at the National Academy of Design in New York. Sculpture became his new interest, and he moved to Italy in 1850 to pursue it. The base of this Neo-classical marble bust of a famous 7th century Greek poet is marked "Rome." Bartholomew moved to Naples and died there when he was only 36.

Boy Holding a Book, was painted sometime after 1796 when Brewster moved to Baxton, Maine to live with his younger brother between trips to New England. The sharp delineation of the boy's features, his peaceful countenance and the subtle tints of his face are qualities that distinguish Brewster's best work. They give the boy an expressive clarity and directness that makes him endearing. The hermetic stillness of this elegantly compact and self contained image, projects a sense of classical purity, reflected from an aura of light in the background surrounding the figure to dramatize his presence. Brewster's images of the rural and small town society of our young republic have a clarity and presence that make them among the most appealing works of American itinerant folk painters.

Art Object, Nomenclature
In his finished paintings, certain areas often are boldly brushed in with seperate strokes while others are painstakingly detailed, resulting in a clash of technique within the painting. This clash is
present in the "View of Norwalk Islands" (No. 15), which must rank as one of Brown's best paintings. Not only is "View of Norwalk Islands" inconsistent with handling, it also contains gross errors in scale. The sailboat at right center, for example, seems no larger than a toy. In spite of these incongruities, however, it is a charming picture. The sparkling clarity of the cool atmosphere, the richness of the forms built up with many colors, and the broad, panoramic composition, with small points of interest in a zig-zag line across the bay, create an attractive and surprisingly harmonious landscape.

"Saltbox by Moonlight" is a charming little picture, effective in its play of moonlight across the facade of a Connecticut saltbox. Both the subject and format (vertical with a worm's-eye perspective) are somewhat unusual for the artist.

The Danish-born Emil Carlsen trained as an architect before emigrating to the United States in 1872. Over the next two decades, he studied and taught art in Chicago, Paris, San Francisco, and New York, and built a reputation as a still-life painter. In 1896, Carlsen began summering in Connecticut, where he took up the subject of landscape. At first, he stayed at artist J. Alden Weir’s home in Windham Center, even residing with his family in a cottage on Weir’s property. This painting, completed in 1904, probably depicts that spot. The following year, Carlsen bought his own home in the northwest Connecticut town of Falls Village.
The limited tonal range and carefully constructed surface of "Night, Old Windham" recall the work of John H. Twachtman, the influential Impressionist and teacher whose paintings Carlsen admired. Carlsen’s intimate response to nature creates a hushed, dreamlike mood that is the hallmark of his landscapes.
This painting won the Webb Prize for the best landscape by an American artist when it was exhibited at the Society of American Artists in 1905.

The Charter Oak is a symbol of the spirit of independence that began the American Revolution. In 1687, Connecticut stood alone in New England in defying James II's orders to relinquish a 1662 charter that had given the colonies self-government. Legend has it that the candles went out suddenly at the showdown meeting and the charter vanished - into a hole in an ancient oak tree down the street which was said to have been a council tree of the Native Americans who watched for its leaves to appear in the spring to indicate the proper time for planting corn. When the tree was felled by a violent storm in 1856, a counting of its rings determined it to be almost a thousand years old.
The painting depicts the grand old tree with a fence just beyond it and the tiny figure of a woman to its left.

Through the support of his Connecticut patron Daniel Wadsworth, English-born Thomas Cole painted landscapes that captured America’s natural beauty. This canvas, executed in Italy, is an early study for the allegorical "Course of Empire" series of five paintings depicting the rise and fall of a great civilization. Although the stormy landscape appears untamed, the presence of small figures to the right of center suggests that the process of settlement is beginning. Cole lamented that America’s quest for progress came at the cost of its wilderness and inspired other artists of the Hudson River School to celebrate this unique national heritage.

Few artists shaped the popular image of New England more than George H. Durrie, whose Connecticut landscapes were distributed as prints by the firm of Currier and Ives. Painted in an era when railroads were becoming the dominant mode of travel, "Seven Miles to Farmington," which exists in several versions, encourages nostalgia for the country tavern as a cheery wayside social center. Rather than depicting rural homesteads in their original settings Durrie, who lived in New Haven, often selected elements to create idyllic composites.

One of America's first native landscape painters, Fisher evidently based "In the Nick of Time" from a passage in one of James Fenimore Cooper's novels. A pair of hunters silhouetted against a mountain lake take aim at a mountain lion that hovers menacingly over a mother and her two small cildren resting at the base of a rock. Two dogs are poised with their complete attention on the mountain lion. "In the Nick of Time" expresses perfectly the romanticism of mid-19th century America, characterized by Cooper's descriptions of the adventures found in the American wilderness.

In New London, around 1762, Johnston painted this 20-year-old man, his sister, and their parents. The family, from Gardiner's Island in Long Island Sound, may have been visiting New London. His style is simple, straightforward, and unpretentious, and that mattered most to Johnston's Connecticut clients. He was kept busy in New London, Hartford, and New Haven. By 1770 he had moved on to Barbados, where he died.

Metcalf's biographer, Elizabeth de Veer, refers to "Thawing Brook" as "an unusally fine Metcalf" and certainly it is that. A bank of dark firs recede diagonally across the picture plane casting shadows of various lengths across a sloping field. In the distance are hills and a lovely soft blue sky. The play of light and shadows across the snow and the melting brook is nothing short of masterful.
Willard Metcalf painted "Thawing Brook" in Cornish, New Hampshire, site of an art colony he frequented after 1909. Although colony life in Cornish was at its height during the summer, Metcalf often preferred to visit during the quieter winter months. The snow-covered landscapes he produced emphasize the season’s poetic beauty over its harshness. Raised by ardent spiritualists and as an admirer of such transcendentalist authors as Emerson and Thoreau, Metcalf devoted particular attention to the snow-bound stream in the painting’s foreground—a symbol of nature’s enduring life force despite the icy rigors of winter.

A native of Kensington, Connecticut, N. A. Moore—as he was known professionally—ran a flourishing daguerreotype studio in Hartford for several years, but gave it up in order to work full time as a landscape painter. The deliberate attention to detail in "Apple Orchard" may reflect the artist’s past experience with photography.
Although "Apple Orchard" likely depicts the area around Kensington, Moore supplemented his income by traveling each summer to Lake George. There, tourists ordered large versions, to be delivered later, of the artist’s small oil sketches. If he received enough orders, Moore returned to Kensington for the winter to complete his commissions. If not, he and his son, the artist E. A. Moore, worked in various Connecticut cities, as well as in New York, Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis. N. A. Moore also served his Connecticut clients from a studio in Hartford.

Morse had already painted miniatures while at Yale, but the future inventor of the telegraph polished his elegant style under Washington Allston in this country and in England. Morse worked in New Haven, Hartford, and New York City.
Louisa Walter Bishop Hughes (1804-1872), lived in New Haven. Morse may have painted this portrait around the time of her marriage in July 1828 to Enos Brooks Miles Hughes, a merchant.

Ammi Phillips is considered the leading country portrait painter of the 19th century America. Born in Colebrook, Connecticut, this self-taught painter crisscrossed Connecticut , Massachusetts and New York from at least 1811 until his last years. "Portrait of Katherine Salisbury Newkirk" is an exceptional example of the artist's work and probably dates from the early 1820s when Phillip's work turned gravely realistic with dark backgrounds and rich colors highlighting clothing accessories. The face is modelled with great attention to the definition of the sitter's details.
Katherine Salisbury Newkirk (1773–1866) was born in Catskill, Greene County, New York, to Abraham Salisbury and Elsie Hasbrouck. She married first Robert Black in 1797, and married second John Person Newkirk (1780–1855) in 1801, with whom she had six children.

Like many of the Old Lyme Impressionists, Rook loved to paint views of the mountain laurel that flourished along the banks of the Lieutenant River in June. A methodical painter, Rook was frequently frustrated that the flowers faded faster than they could be painted. To the delight of some of the other artists, Rook sometimes tied pink cotton balls onto the laurel bushes for a "second blooming", thereby allowing him to finish his composition.
Mr. Rook priced "Laurel" at $5000; it did not sell. He felt it was one of his finest works and, disheartened, he draped the painting with a black shawl and kept it in his studio throughout his life.

Rook was regarded by his peers in the Lyme Art Colony as one of the finest painters of their group. Although primarily a landscape painter, the artists did numerous still lifes of household objects that he arranged in his studio. He submitted this work to numerous juried exhibitions in the 1920s, perhaps suggesting that he regarded it as one of his more successful pieces.

Henry Pember Smith, a Waterford native, often chose as his subject tidy Connecticut homesteads. His depictions of houses (usually Dutch Colonials) surrounded by stone walls or picket fences and ancient trees struck a chord with Americans after the Civil War. In an era of intense social transformation, old homesteads symbolized enduring values and made comforting reference to the past. Smith’s reverent depictions of New England houses contributed to the Colonial Revival movement of the late nineteenth century.

We must have snow and lots of it. Never is nature more lovely than when it is snowing. Everything is so quiet and the whole earth seems wrapped in a mantle… All nature is hushed to silence.
-Letter from Twachtman to J. Alden Weir, 1891
"Connecticut Shore, Winter" differs from Twachtman’s other winter scenes, which usually depict the artist’s Greenwich farmhouse swathed in delicately tinted snow. The black and brown of the boats and dock contrast sharply with the snow and ice clogging the water, underscoring winter’s bitter temperatures. This painting may depict the harbor at Bridgeport, where Twachtman first worked in 1888.

By 1922, when Edward Volkert moved to Lyme, it was one of the few rural communities with an adequate supply of his signature subject matter—cows. This picture belongs to a tradition of animal painting that reached its height in nineteenth century Europe, but Volkert updates the genre with impressionist brushwork, vibrant colors, and an eye for dazzling sunlight. To capture the solidity and weight of their bodies, the artist modeled cows in clay and traveled to slaughterhouses to study their anatomy. During the summers he spent in Old Lyme, he rose before dawn like a farmer to paint cows in the fields.

This panoramic painting depicts the bare cliff face known as East Rock, which along with its companion West Rock had been a landmark for American landscape painters since the early nineteenth century. Weir omits the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument which had stood atop East Rock since 1887. Although he had been on the planning committee, he resigned out of opposition to the final design and placement of the obelisk. In this painting, Weir emphasizes East Rock’s bucolic setting, complete with a ramshackle fence, with few hints of neighboring New Haven’s steady growth.
A son of the prominent artist Robert W. Weir and a brother of the Impressionist J. Alden Weir, John Ferguson Weir arrived in New Haven in 1869 as the director of the Yale School of Fine Arts, a position he held for decades. The artist remained loyal to academic tradition, but here adopts elements of Tonalism and Impressionism in his choice of muted colors and textured brushwork.

This scene is more intimate and has a closer viewpoint than most paintings Williamson did. The trees that dominate in so lively a manner are a reminder that he was also a fine still-life painter who depicted flowers still growing outdoors. Williamson's sensitivity to the spirit
