Robertson K. Mygatt
Tonalist Landscape: Cottage with Trees in a Field by Robertson Mygatt

About the Item

Robertson K. Mygatt (American, 1862-1919) Cottage with Trees in a Field Oil on panel, 9 7/8 x 14 inches Framed: 14 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches (approx.) The landscape painter and etcher Robertson K. Mygatt was born in New York City and studied at the Art Students’ League with John Twachtman (1853–1902) and William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). He specialized in painting tonalist landscapes and exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Academy of Design, the Society of American Artists, and most frequently at the Salmagundi Club. These small and exquisitely crafted compositions, which were painted directly from nature on cigar box lids, probably represent the area around Ipswich, Massachusetts. Mygatt spent the last years of his life in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

  • Late 19th Century Tonalist Landscape with Oak Trees
    By Willard LeRoy Metcalf
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Gorgeous late 19th century Tonalist landscape painting of foothills and oak trees in the style of Willard Leroy Metcalf circa 1900. Inscribed "M" in circle monogram lower left corner and on frame verso. Presented in original rustic giltwood frame. Image size: 6"H x 8"W. Framed size: 8.5"H x 10.5"W. Tonalist are usually intimate works, painted with a limited palette. Tonalist paintings are softly expressive, suggestive rather than detailed, often depicting the landscape at twilight or evening, when there is an absence of contrast. Tonalist paintings could also be figurative, but in them, the figure was usually out of doors or in an interior in a low-key setting with little detail. Tonalism had its origins in the works of the French Barbizon school and in the works of American painters who were influenced by them.

At the same time, the parallel Pictorialist Photography...
