Hugh Bolton Jones for sale on 1stDibs
A Baltimore, Maryland native, Hugh Bolton Jones studied art at the Maryland Institute and in 1865, he studied under Horace W. Robbins in New York. Between 1865 and 1876, Jones painted landscapes of the Eastern United States in the Hudson River School tradition. He began exhibiting his work at the National Academy of Design in 1867, and became an associate member of the National Academy in 1893. He was also a member of the American Water Color Society, the National Arts Club and the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Jones won numerous awards for his work and his paintings are included in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery of Art and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine art.
Between 1876 and 1880, Hugh Bolton Jones and his brother, artist Francis Coates Jones, traveled throughout Europe with their friend and fellow artist, Thomas Hovenden. Hugh Bolton Jones joined the artists colony in Pont-Aven, Brittany, France where he was influenced by traditional European landscape painting. Many of his works from this time period reflect the Barbizon style and exhibit a tonal color palette and moody effects of light.
One of the paintings completed during his sojourn to France was Winter Landscape with Sunset completed in 1876. A painting dated 1876 with similar composition and the same size is in the collection of the Maryland Historical Society. It depicts a man and a woman carrying out their daily labor along the snow covered banks of a river. A pastel sunset illuminates the sky above.
Hugh Bolton Jones' maturity as an artist is clear in his dramatic use of light and dark and the subtle way he has rendered the details of the landscape.
Finding the Right Landscape-paintings for You
It could be argued that cave walls were the canvases for the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict and elevate natural scenery through art, but there is a richer history to consider.
The Netherlands was home to landscapes as a major theme in painting as early as the 1500s, and ink-on-silk paintings in China featured mountains and large bodies of water as far back as the third century. Greeks created vast wall paintings that depicted landscapes and grandiose garden scenes, while in the late 15th century and early 16th century, landscapes were increasingly the subject of watercolor works by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Fra Bartolomeo.
The popularity of religious paintings eventually declined altogether, and by the early 19th century, painters of classical landscapes took to painting out-of-doors (plein-air painting). Paintings of natural scenery were increasingly realistic but romanticized too. Into the 20th century, landscapes remained a major theme for many artists, and while the term “landscape painting” may call to mind images of lush, grassy fields and open seascapes, the genre is characterized by more variety, colors and diverse styles than you may think. Painters working in the photorealist style of landscape painting, for example, seek to create works so lifelike that you may confuse their paint for camera pixels. But if you’re shopping for art to outfit an important room, the work needs to be something with a bit of gravitas (and the right frame is important, too).
Adding a landscape painting to your home can introduce peace and serenity within the confines of your own space. (Some may think of it as an aspirational window of sorts rather than a canvas.) Abstract landscape paintings by the likes of Korean painter Seungyoon Choi or Georgia-based artist Katherine Sandoz, on the other hand, bring pops of color and movement into a room. These landscapes refuse to serve as a background. Elsewhere, Adam Straus’s technology-inspired paintings highlight how our extreme involvement with our devices has removed us from the glory of the world around us. Influenced by modern life and steeped in social commentary, Straus’s landscape paintings make us see our surroundings anew.
