Walter Launt PalmerWinter Stream by Walter Launt Palmer (American, 1854-1932)
About the Item
The work of American artist Walter Launt Palmer (1854-1932) provides a bridge between the traditional landscapes of the Hudson River School and the more modern work of the American Impressionist movement. "Winter Stream" reveals Palmer's mastery of color through delicate color variations and blue shadows used to depict white snow. It is a fine example of the snowladen Hudson River Valley landscapes he was acclaimed for. "Winter Stream" by Walter Launt Palmer is mixed media on paper, measures 24 x 20 inches, and is signed at the lower left. The work is framed in an elegant, period appropriate frame and ready to hang.
Endowed with remarkable skill, Walter Launt Palmer was surrounded by creative talent very early in his life. As the son of master sculptor Erastus Dow Palmer, he was introduced to the arts not only by his father but also by the many artists who visited the family home in Albany, New York: “Among them were Frederic E. Church, Kensett, McEntee and Hubbard.”[1] In fact, these artists may have steered young Palmer towards painting instead of sculpture.
Palmer began his formal artistic training under Charles Loring Elliot, and by 1870 he was put under the schooling of Frederic Church at Olana, his estate near Hudson, New York. By 1873, Palmer made one of many trips abroad to work with Emile Carolus-Duran. It was at this time that he met John Singer Sargent, who was highly influential and also a student of Carolus-Duran.[2]
Palmer spent much time in Europe, drawn by his growing interest in French Impressionism and his attraction to Venice for subject matter. Upon returning to the United States, he settled once again in Albany, where artists such as William and James Hart, Homer Dodge Martin, and Edward Gay were all working. He did, however, spend a short period of time in New York City at the well known Tenth Street Studio Building.
The artist won numerous awards and honors during his career, including a prize at the National Academy of Design in 1887, a medal at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, a gold medal at the Philadelphia Art Club, and a prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900. His works were shown at the Brooklyn Art Association, the Boston Art Club, and the Corcoran Gallery Biennials. His paintings commanded the admiration of critics and are now featured in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum; The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of the Fine Arts, Boston; and the Butler Institute of Art among other important institutions.

- Seascape by George Herbert McCord (American, 1848-1909)By George Herbert McCordLocated in New York, NY"Seascape," by Hudson River School artist George Herbert McCord (1848-1909) is oil on canvas and measures 18.07 x 30.13 inches. The work which comes from a private collection in Birmingham, Alabama is signed “G.H. McCord A.N.A.” at the lower left. The work is framed in a beautiful, period appropriate frame, and ready to hang. A member of the second generation of Hudson River School painters, George Herbert McCord is known for his atmospheric landscape and marine paintings which capture a variety of locales and are executed in a variety of media—including oil, pastel, and watercolor. McCord was born in 1848 in New York City, where he lived and worked his entire life. After 1883, he kept an additional studio in Morristown, NJ. McCord traveled throughout North America, painting in the Berkshire, Adirondack and Laurentian mountain ranges, the Hudson River Valley, the Coast of New England, the Upper Mississippi, and Florida, which had become popular among Eastern vacationers. He was among a select group of artists commissioned by the Santa Fe Railroad to paint the Grand Canyon, and also participated in a special painting excursion to the Erie Canal. His travels in Europe were equally expansive, taking him to England, Scotland (having been commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to paint the scenery around his castle there), France, the Netherlands, and Italy. McCord was well-educated, having attended Claverack College amidst the Catskills in Claverack, NY, which provided instruction in classical, French, German, English, music, painting, military, commercial, telegraphic and agricultural studies. He also studied with the accomplished painter and inventor of Morse code, Samuel F.B. Morse, and with the Scottishborn landscape painter, James Fairman. McCord was active in numerous art clubs and institutions in New York, including the National Academy of Design, which elected him an Associate member in 1880, the American Watercolor Society, the Brooklyn Art...Category
