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.

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.

During a period when the eminent landscape painter Frederic Church was seeking out sublime views of volcanoes, icebergs, and rainforests for his paintings, "A Catskill Landscape" may seem a tame subject. When Church visited the Catskills with his new bride in 1860, the area was already a fashionable resort. Sightseeing tourists enjoyed “sunrising,” gathering early in the morning to meditate on the panoramic view from hilltop vantage points. Church’s treatment of the scene accentuates the dramatic aspects of the wild foliage and distant mountains by lighting them with a blazing atmospheric effect. His scientific study of nature helped Church achieve a likeness so convincing that viewers thrilled to be transported to his wild locales.
This painting was a wedding present from Church to Lucretia Titus when she married William Harmon Brown in 1860.

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.

This very stylish portrait of a Parisian woman was painted around 1897 just before the artist arrived in Hartford where he had a studio at 700 Main Street and taught at the Hartford Art School. Griffin had spent ten years abroad, principally in France, where he painted a good deal in the villages of Fleury and Barbizon (he befriended Francois Millet there). "Portrait of a Lady" reflects the artist's academic training in Paris but the impressionistic brushwork is evidence of his growing identification with the American Impressionists.

"Fort Dumpling" is an important document of a long lost Newport landmark and national treasure. A post civil war sentiment is reflected by the artist along with his reverence for nature and homage to the work of Thomas Cole (ruined tower series) and Claude Lorraine ("picturesque" composition).
A really significant painting when one puts it in the context of collecting and ideology of landscape.

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.

"Mason's Island" is a mature example of Ranger's forest interior- a subject for which he was considered without peer among American painters at the turn-of-the-century. Using a carefully controlled composition, Ranger lavishes attention on the texture of the broadly sweeping trees and rocky soil, interrupted by a backlit opening in the woods. Ranger was attracted to Mason's Island by it statuesque oaks and rocky outcroppings. He moved there from Old Lyme in 1904.

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.

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.

A fine example of Wiggins' mature style with the characteristic "Inness greens" and soft focus atmosphere much in evidence. "Seaside Sheep Pastures" is more of a landscape painting depicting sheep grazing than strictly a "portrait" of grazing sheep, a genre for which Wiggins and fellow Lyme artists Matilda Browne and William Henry Howe were widely regarded at the time.
on reverse, "Seaside Sheep Pastures"/Carleton Wiggins/Lyme/Conn. Ex. collection of Colonel Grafton Wiggins." is inscribed on reverse. Carleton Wiggins, N. A., l.l.
