Hudson River School Still-life Paintings
HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL STYLE
Considered the first major American painting movement, the Hudson River School emerged in the first half of the 19th century with landscape paintings that celebrated the young country’s natural beauty. Most of its leading painters were based in New York City where they exchanged ideas and traveled to the nearby Hudson River Valley and Catskills Mountains to re-create their vistas. At a time when the city was increasingly dense, the Hudson River School artists extolled the vast and pristine qualities of the American landscape, a sentiment that would inform the conservation movement.
American art was dominated by portraiture and historical scenes before Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School, began painting the Catskill Mountains in 1825. While the Hudson River School was informed by European art aesthetics, particularly the British focus on the sublime in nature, it was a style imbued with nationalism. The landscape painters who followed and studied under Cole would expand their focus from the Northeastern United States to places across the country, their work shared through prints and portfolios promoting an appreciation for the American wilderness — Niagara Falls, the mountain ranges that dot the American West and more — as the style blossomed during the mid-19th century.
Cole’s student Frederic Edwin Church as well as painters such as Albert Bierstadt, John Frederick Kensett, Asher Brown Durand and others became prominent proponents of the Hudson River School. The American art movement also had close ties to the literary world, including to authors like William Cullen Bryant, Henry David Thoreau and James Fenimore Cooper who wrote on similar themes. Although by the early 1900s the style had waned, and modernism would soon guide the following decades of art in the United States, the Hudson River School received renewed interest in the late 20th century for the dramatic way its artists portrayed the world.

Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Natalia Pankova (1965) - Sunflowers - Oil on canvas
Oil measurements 50x50 cm.
Frameless.
This striking piece by Natalia Pankova, a renowned contemporary Russian painter, captures the energy and vitality of a sunflower bouquet in her signature expressionist style. Pankova uses a vibrant palette and dynamic brushstrokes, creating a powerful balance between structure and emotion.
The artist draws clear inspiration from masters such as Vincent van Gogh, whose use of color and expressive approach to still life revolutionized the art world, and Paul Cézanne, celebrated for his structural and geometric treatment of still life. Additionally, echoes of Wassily Kandinsky's expressionism can be seen, particularly in the harmonious interplay of shapes and colors.
The painting is not framed, offering the buyer the freedom to select a frame that best suits their personal style and space. Perfect for collectors or contemporary art enthusiasts looking for a vibrant and unique piece. An excellent addition to any collection!

Charles Ethan Porter (1847 - 1923)
Flowers in a Blue Vase
Oil on canvas
8 x 10 inches
Provenance:
Wiley's Art Store, Hartford, Connecticut
Ted Kilbride, Madison, Connecticut
The son of a poor and illiterate laborer, Charles E. Porter became one of the first, if not the first, African-American to study at the National Academy of Design. He traveled to London and Paris in the 1880s to continue his studies, a pattern followed by nearly all 19th-century American painters who had the means to do so. On his return, he set up a studio in New York, but financial difficulties forced him to return to his family home in Rockville, Connecticut, where he became active in the Hartford art community.
His still life paintings embraced a soft, lush quality that differentiated it from much of previous American still life painting, which was often characterized by a virtuosic but harder-edged technique. Porter's work embodied a soft focus while capturing a naturalistic immediacy, qualities apparent also in his landscapes.
Porter's work was enthusiastically received in the Connecticut press and by his colleagues and students. He was a much-admired teacher to aspiring artists and counted among his friends and patrons artist Frederic Edwin Church and writer Mark Twain.
He was a charter member of the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, and exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the American Society of Painters in Watercolor, and the Hartford Decorative Art Society.
Despite his success in Hartford, Charles Porter...
