George Henry Durrie
Oil Snow Landscape titled "Gathering Wood for Winter, New Haven, CT"

1855

About the Item

George Henry Durrie's painting "Gathering Wood for Winter, New Haven, CT" captures the essence of 19th-century rural America with its picturesque depiction of a serene winter landscape. Durrie, known for his idyllic New England scenes, uses a palette of soft whites, blues, and grays to convey the cold, crisp atmosphere of a winter's day. Durrie's detailed skill is evident in the texture of the snow and the intricate rendering of the bare branches, which add depth and realism to the scene. The composition draws the viewer's eye towards the central activity, creating a narrative that speaks to the simplicity and hardiness of rural life in New Haven, Connecticut. The contrast of the bold red farm house in the distance to the bright white snow shows his true skill and passion for painting winter scenes. This painting is signed and dated lower left and comes in excellent condition with frame. Provenance: William Nathaniel Banks Collection Coe Kerr Gallery, NY Exhibited: "Georgia Collects", The High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA "The Beckoning Land Exhibition", The High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA
