About the Item
Charles Lewis Fussell
(American, 1840–1909)
Collins Center
Oil on canvas, 8 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches
FRAMED: 14 x 12 inches (approx.)
Collins Center, is a small town in Erie County in northwest New York. The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts owns a scene of the same location that it dates to c. 1900, but it is more likely that Fussell painted this view during his travels in the early 1880s.
Charles Lewis Fussell was born in West Vincent, Chester County, Pennsylvania, the son of a prominent Quaker physician. He befriended Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) while attending Central High School in Philadelphia. Fussell began to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1859 and exhibited there between 1863 and 1905. He also took private art lessons from Peter Frederick Rothermel (1817-1895). He became interested in landscape after a visit to Greeley, Colorado, and after his family settled in Media, Delaware County, Pennsylvania he traveled throughout the surrounding area in search of inspiring scenery. Little is known of Fussell’s activities until he settled in Brooklyn, New York, in 1889, where he lived for the next eight years.
Dispirited because he failed to achieve professional success in New York, Fussell returned to the family homestead in Media. For the remaining years of his life he painted detailed watercolor views of the surrounding countryside, especially Ridley Creek.

(American, born England, 1779-1851)
Winter Landscape, Pennsylvania
Oil on canvas, 18 x 24 inches
FRAMED: 27 x 33 inches (approx.)
Thomas Birch was born in Warwickshire, England, son of the enamel and miniature painter William Russell Birch (1755-1834). He and his father settled in Philadelphia in 1794 and produced popular sets of engravings that documented the city's growth such as The City of Philadelphia (1800) and Country Seats (1808). Thomas Birch began to paint portraits around 1806, and soon gravitated to the subjects that made him famous, landscapes, winter scenes, and marine scenes.
Birch also painted numerous winter scenes throughout his career, perhaps influenced by the popularity of sleighing and skating in Philadelphia. His landscapes represented the more rustic tradition of English painting and although the subject matter was either the Pennsylvania of New Jersey countryside, Birch’s imagination was oriented toward seventeenth century Dutch painting as he was influenced by artists Jan van Goyen and Salomon van Ruysdael.
Birch frequently exhibited his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Artists’ Fund Society, formed in 1835. His art was influential in the later development of the Hudson River School of painting and the style of romantic realism...
