Walter Launt PalmerWinter Stream by Walter Launt Palmer (American, 1854-1932)
About the Item
The work of American artist Walter Launt Palmer (1854-1932) provides a bridge between the traditional landscapes of the Hudson River School and the more modern work of the American Impressionist movement. "Winter Stream" reveals Palmer's mastery of color through delicate color variations and blue shadows used to depict white snow. It is a fine example of the snowladen Hudson River Valley landscapes he was acclaimed for. "Winter Stream" by Walter Launt Palmer is mixed media on paper, measures 24 x 20 inches, and is signed at the lower left. The work is framed in an elegant, period appropriate frame and ready to hang.
Endowed with remarkable skill, Walter Launt Palmer was surrounded by creative talent very early in his life. As the son of master sculptor Erastus Dow Palmer, he was introduced to the arts not only by his father but also by the many artists who visited the family home in Albany, New York: “Among them were Frederic E. Church, Kensett, McEntee and Hubbard.”[1] In fact, these artists may have steered young Palmer towards painting instead of sculpture.
Palmer began his formal artistic training under Charles Loring Elliot, and by 1870 he was put under the schooling of Frederic Church at Olana, his estate near Hudson, New York. By 1873, Palmer made one of many trips abroad to work with Emile Carolus-Duran. It was at this time that he met John Singer Sargent, who was highly influential and also a student of Carolus-Duran.[2]
Palmer spent much time in Europe, drawn by his growing interest in French Impressionism and his attraction to Venice for subject matter. Upon returning to the United States, he settled once again in Albany, where artists such as William and James Hart, Homer Dodge Martin, and Edward Gay were all working. He did, however, spend a short period of time in New York City at the well known Tenth Street Studio Building.
The artist won numerous awards and honors during his career, including a prize at the National Academy of Design in 1887, a medal at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, a gold medal at the Philadelphia Art Club, and a prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900. His works were shown at the Brooklyn Art Association, the Boston Art Club, and the Corcoran Gallery Biennials. His paintings commanded the admiration of critics and are now featured in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum; The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of the Fine Arts, Boston; and the Butler Institute of Art among other important institutions.

California Tonalism was art movement that existed in California from circa 1890 to 1920. 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. California Tonalism was born when the emphasis in California landscape painting passed from the grand landscapes of works like those of Thomas Hill and William Keith's early career, to more intimate views of a domesticated landscape. At the same time, the parallel Pictorialist Photography...Category
