About the Item

This work of art depicts a majestic mountain scene, strikingly capturing the essence of nature in all its splendor. The imposing, majestic mountains dominate the center of the composition, their peaks bathed in a golden light that creates a striking contrast with the deep shadows of the valleys. The painter has skilfully used the play of light to accentuate the relief and contours of the mountains, bringing out their grandeur and robustness. The calm water in the foreground acts as a crystalline mirror, impeccably reflecting the verdant hues of the mountains and sky, adding extra depth and dimension to the composition. The smooth surface of the lake creates a sense of tranquility and peace, in contrast to the raw power of the mountains. The sky, dotted with a few fluffy clouds, adds a touch of dynamism to the whole. The colors used are strikingly realistic, with deep blues and lush greens, faithfully depicting the rugged beauty of this mountainous region. This painting stands out for its meticulous attention to detail and its mastery of light and shadow techniques to create a vibrant, lively scene. In short, this work is an impressive tribute to the natural majesty of the mountains and the serene tranquility of the waters that surround them.

"Western Lake Landscape, " John Fery, Hudson River School View
By John Fery
Located in New York, NY
John Fery (1859 - 1934) Western Lake Landscape, circa 1920 Oil on canvas 21 x 23 1/4 inches Signed lower left Provenance: Private Collection, New York Born in Austria, John Fery earned a strong reputation for dramatic paintings of western mountain landscape in the United States. Glacier National Park in northwest Montana was a popular subject for him. He was raised in a prominent, wealthy family that lived on an estate about nineteen miles northeast of Salzburg. His mother was Hungarian, and his father was born in Bohemia. S ome sources have written that he studied art in Dusseldorf, Germany with Peter Jansen, and also in Munich, Venice and Karlsruhe. But his "name does not appear in the records of the major art schools in any of these places, nor is there any record of his name at either the Vienna or Budapest academies." (Merrill 26) It is possible, however, that he received private instruction, and because of the sophistication of his painting, sources think it unlikely that he was self taught. An early interest in wilderness scenery led him to painting American landscapes and hunting scenes. In the mid 1880s, he came to America and lived in the German community in Milwaukee, and then in 1886, brought his family to the United States. His wife, Mary Rose Kraemer (1862-1940), was born in Switzerland, and they had one child born near Munich and two others born in the United States. From 1886 to 1888, they lived in New York, and by 1890, Fery had made his first trip West. He visited Yellowstone Park in 1891, and indicated in his writings that he had been there even earlier. From 1892 to 1893, he led European nobility on hunting expeditions to the American Northwest, made possible by the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad...
