About the Item
Fitz Henry Lane (1804–1865)
Mary Ann, 1846
Oil on canvas, 19 x 27 ¼ in., actual; 27 1/4" H x 35 1/2" W, framed.
Signed, dated lower left: F. H. Lane 1846
Fitz Henry Lane was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, a descendent of a family of fishermen that had resided on Cape Ann since 1623. Even with a lifelong handicap, Lane taught himself how to draw and paint and spent countless hours honing his technique. By the age of twenty-eight, he was hired to apprentice at Pendelton’s Lithography, the most important printmaking firm in Boston. Here he was exposed to other American and European artists, including British marine specialist Robert Salmon. Lane soon enjoyed success as both a painter and printmaker. By the 1840s his sale of oil paintings increased, which in turn diminished the need to rely on income from his lithographs. In 1841, Lane first exhibited at the Boston Athenaeum an oil painting entitled Scene at Sea, and in March 1842 he exhibited Ships in a Gale at the Apollo Association in New York City. By 1847,Lane’s reputation was firmly established, and he moved back to Gloucester permanently, except for trips to New York, Maine, Maryland, and possibly Puerto Rico. His highly refined images of Gloucester Harbor and its environs were celebrated for their minute detail and crisp delineations of form. During the late 1850s Lane simplified his works, painting thinly and eliminating detail in order to focus on effects of light and create a tranquil mood. Lane was more radical in his coastal scenes, from which, during the 1850s, he successively purged genre and topographical elements, so much so that, together with Martin Johnson Heade, he may well be considered the true avant-garde of American mid-century landscape painting. Lane’s mature work greatly influenced the second generation of Hudson River School artists such as John F. Kensett, Frederic E. Church, and Heade, who were forming their own luminist styles around the same time. Lane exhibited his work at the National Academy of Design in 1859 and at galleries in Boston, Gloucester, and Albany. His work is found in esteemed private collections and major museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum, New York; National Gallery of Art and Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City; Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth; and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Art, Madrid. The Cape Ann Historical Association and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, have large collections of Lane’s work.
The packet ship Mary Ann was built by Waterman and Ewell at Medford, Massachusetts, for Andrews T. Hall and Albert H. Brown of Boston. She was re-registered in 1856, her new owners being William Perkins and Israel Whitney. She was wrecked in 1861 at the mouth of the Bassein River, Burma, while bound there from Colombo, Ceylon.

"Being There" Original Oil Painting by Robert White, Frameless Display
Located in Encino, CA
“Being There,” an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of browns and reds project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for cityscapes, theater, and architecture.
In the artist’s own words, “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head. I’ll make the decision right then and there to paint that particular subject during that particular moment. It’s a perfect moment. Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the “perfect” click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I only have a few days of clarity with that image. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.”
