Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Russell Smith immigrated to the United States in 1819 and eventually settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He studied with the portraitist James Reid Lambdin, and began to paint theater stage scenery in 1833, initiating a long career as America’s foremost painter of theater scenes and curtains. He moved to Philadelphia in 1835 to paint decorations for the Walnut Street Theater and began to exhibit his landscapes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1834, continuing to do so until 1889. After a painting trip to Europe from 1851 to 1852, Smith returned to Philadelphia and divided his time between painting theater scenery and romantic landscapes of the Susquehanna, Wissahickon, Pennypack, and Juniata river valleys.

Nineteenth Century Winter Landscape in Pennsylvania by Thomas Birch
By Thomas Birch

Thomas Birch
(American, born England, 1779-1851)
Winter Landscape, Pennsylvania
Oil on canvas, 18 x 24 inches
FRAMED: 27 x 33 inches (approx.)
Thomas Birch was born in Warwickshire, England, son of the enamel and miniature painter William Russell Birch (1755-1834). He and his father settled in Philadelphia in 1794 and produced popular sets of engravings that documented the city's growth such as The City of Philadelphia (1800) and Country Seats (1808). Thomas Birch began to paint portraits around 1806, and soon gravitated to the subjects that made him famous, landscapes, winter scenes, and marine scenes.
Birch also painted numerous winter scenes throughout his career, perhaps influenced by the popularity of sleighing and skating in Philadelphia.

Birch frequently exhibited his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Artists’ Fund Society, formed in 1835. His art was influential in the later development of the Hudson River School of painting and the style of romantic realism...
