A. Hatmaker
New England Town by the Sea

1989

About the Item

This painting, titled New England Town by the Sea and created by A. Hatmaker in 1989, captures the charm of a quaint coastal village in New England. Executed in a folk-art style, the scene portrays a peaceful seaside community with rolling green hills, winding roads, and a serene ocean backdrop. At the center of the composition is a white church with Gothic-style windows and a tall steeple, a hallmark of traditional New England architecture. Surrounding the church are various homes, each painted in warm, earthy tones with meticulous details such as porches, chimneys, and gardens. A lighthouse stands proudly on a rocky outcrop, guiding ships safely along the coastline. Figures can be seen strolling along paths, gathering near the waterfront, sitting on porches, and going about their routines. Elements such as a clothesline with laundry drying in the sea breeze and a small dog near a picket fence add an intimate, lived-in feel to the work. Hatmaker’s use of soft, blended hues in the sky and water contrasts with the crisp lines and structured forms of the buildings and landscape, creating a harmonious balance between realism and folk-art stylization. The painting conveys a nostalgic and timeless essence, celebrating the simplicity and beauty of coastal New England life.

Watercolor of Natural Bridge, VA
By Régis François Gignoux
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
Régis Francois Gignoux was a distinguished nineteenth-century artist whose work illuminated the sublime aspects of the American landscape. He was born in Lyon, France and trained at the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where his instructor, the history painter Paul-Hipployte Delaroche, encouraged his interest in landscape painting. He traveled to the United States in 1840, and immediately showed interest in American Landscapes. He immediately settled in New York and painted many well known sites of the United States: Niagara Falls, the Catskill Mountains, Mount Washington, and Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. He is most famous for his winter scenes, but shows beautiful landscapes year round. Gignoux quickly established himself within the leading Hudson River School circles of the time. He took sketching trips with Frederic Church and John Frederick Kensett. Today, his paintings are in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the New York Historical Society, and the Georgia Museum of Art. This beautiful piece comes from the estate of the artist in New Jersey, and Meyer Fine Art...
