This beautiful untitled landscape painting by Edmund Darch Lewis transports the viewer into the serene tranquility of a verdant countryside. The composition captures a peaceful river flowing gently through a secluded valley, bathed in soft, golden sunlight filtering through towering trees. The delicate interplay of light and shadow on the rolling hills and the smooth reflection of the surrounding environment in the water adds a sense of calm stillness to the piece.
In the foreground, the presence of grazing cows suggests the pastoral nature of the scene, a recurring theme in Lewis' landscapes. The natural elements—verdant greenery, the textured trees, and the clear sky—are rendered with careful attention to detail, evoking a feeling of timeless serenity and untouched beauty.
Edmund Darch Lewis: A Historical Overview
Edmund Darch Lewis (1835–1910) was an American artist renowned for his landscape and architectural works, especially from the late 19th century. Known for his mastery in capturing the romanticized natural world, Lewis often painted dramatic landscapes, focusing on American rural scenes that evoke a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. His works, like this painting, often emphasize rich lighting effects, deep contrasts, and meticulous attention to detail. Many of his landscapes were painted in the style of the Hudson River School, reflecting the movement's fascination with the majestic beauty of nature and the untamed American wilderness.
Throughout his career, Lewis was celebrated for his nuanced use of color and composition, which helped elevate the perception of landscape painting to a higher artistic stature in America. His work was often displayed in major exhibitions and sought after by collectors. As an artist deeply invested in the evolving American aesthetic, Lewis played a pivotal role in the development of American landscape art during the post-Civil War era.
This painting serves as an exceptional example of his legacy, inviting viewers to reflect on the harmony between nature and light, while subtly urging contemplation on the impermanence of such landscapes in the face of modernity.

Edmund Darch Lewis
Edmund Darch Lewis was born in 1835 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and lived there throughout his life. Lewis was one of the most popular landscape painters of Philadelphia during the late 19th century. He studied with artist Paul Weber from 1850–55 and used watercolors to capture marine and river scenes along the Eastern Coast. He exhibited extensively during his career, including at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, National Academy of Design, Brooklyn Art Association, Boston Athenæum and Boston Art Club. Lewis’s paintings are found in museums, galleries, and private collections throughout the United States, including the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, United States Department of State, Bowdoin College, Worcester Art Museum, Samuel Merritt Hospital in Oakland, California and Bostonian Society. In Sailing Along the Coast, Darch uses gouache to bring to life the rugged coastline and the choppy ocean surf in this exquisitely painted marine scene.

View All"Sanctuary" Impressionist Realism Landscape Oil on Linen
By Uri Blayer
Located in Carmel, CA
"Sanctuary," a 16" x 28" oil on linen creation by Israeli artist Uri Blayer, is a serene portrayal of rustic tranquility set against a lush mountainous backdrop. In this piece, Blayer employs a palette dominated by earthy greens, rich browns, and soft greys, evoking the natural harmony of the rural landscape. The painting’s composition leads the viewer’s gaze across a verdant field to the quaint cottage, a splash of blue on its roof adding a gentle contrast to the surrounding neutral tones. The artwork radiates a calming, almost nostalgic emotion, reminiscent of a quiet life, undisturbed by the bustle of modernity. Blayer’s brushwork combines precision with a gentle looseness that gives "The Little Cottage" a dreamlike quality, inviting one to step into its peaceful world.

"Path To The Lake" Oil on Canvas Landscape 20" X 16" by Hal Frater
By Hal Frater
Located in Carmel, CA
Hal Frater passed away on February 3, 2008, just a month from celebrating his 99th birthday.
Hal Frater had a long and prolific career. He became a sought after commercial artist for over fifty years and was an early member of the well-know Society of Illustrators in New York City. All the while he would return to his studio and paint for himself rather than his clients. Yet he always retained his illustration roots in wanting to tell a story on canvas with his keen eye of observation on the human condition.
Often he would join fellow artists in informal sessions and paint from a model - no formal art school training but a mutually beneficial learning experience. His contemporaries that influenced him were Jack Levine, Raphael Soyer, John Sloan, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh and Phillip Reisman...

Hudson River School was an informal association was America's first so-called school of painting and the dominant landscape style until the Civil War. The name derives from a group of 19th-century landscape painters working in New York state. With realistic composition, they depicted romantic views of unsettled areas of the Hudson River Valley especially lakes, rocky gorges, and forests in the Catskill Mountains. About a fourth of these artists utilized luminism or effects with special lighting techniques to convey lofty emotions through contrasts of light and dark. Included in this Hudson River luminist category were Washington Allston, Albert Bierstadt, William Hart, and Frederic Edwin Church...
