Winter Scene oil/board 10 x 14 image size. Frame shows age appropriate wear and marks throughout but not too bad as viewed in the main photo when viewed straight on. It can be touched up I feel or replaced. The painting might benefit from a light cleaning. Bruce Crane (1857 – October 30, 1937) was an American painter. He joined the Lyme Art Colony in the early 1900s. His most active period, though, came after 1920, when for more than a decade he did oil sketches of woods, meadows, and hills. He developed into a Tonalist painter under the influence of Jean-Charles Cazin at Grez-sur-Loing. Crane's mature works were nearly always fall and winter scenes. He usually painted in his studio in Bronxville, New York, where like many of the Tonalists he relied mostly on memories of his outdoor sketching experiences. Selected work can be found at the Florence Griswold...

Signed (at lower right): BRUCE CRANE Bruce Crane was a highly successful, widely honored landscape painter in the decades that framed the turn of the century. He was an accomplished artist, best-known for his Barbizon-influenced and, later, tonalist, canvases. Crane turned decisively to tonalism after 1884. “Russet and Gold” may be the same work he exhibited by that name at the National Academy of Design in 1887. Because the title is descriptive, however, the identification remains tentative. Crane was born in New York City, where he attended public schools and accompanied his father, an amateur painter, to art galleries and museums. Crane studied painting with Alexander Wyant. Wyant had begun his career as a landscape artist working in the panoramic, realist style of the Hudson River School, but was subsequently much influenced by a dovetailing constellation of the French Barbizon painters, the work of John Constable, and the influence of his friend, George Inness. Crane’s early work reflects his training with Wyant. The young artist progressed rapidly, supplementing private study with classes at the recently founded Art Students League. He first exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York City in 1876, and showed there almost every year thereafter until his death (missing only three years). He was named an associate in 1897, and a full academician in 1901. In 1878, Crane went to France, and returned there in 1880 and 1882. He studied in Grez-sur-Loing with Jean-Charles Cazin, a French landscape painter. At the same time, he established a winter studio in Manhattan and spent summers on Long Island. Crane was much honored in his time. He exhibited a landscape owned by Andrew Carnegie in the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. He won the Webb prize at the Society of American Artists in 1897...
