Grazing Cows, 1878, Oil on Canvas, Joseph Foxcroft Cole, American (1837-1892)
About the Item
J. Foxcroft Cole, born: Jay, Maine in 1837, and died: Winchester, Massachusetts in 1892. As a young man Cole worked with renowned American artist Winslow Homer and was actively supported by William Morris Hunt. During the first of several extended stays in Paris he studied under Charles Jacque and associated with many of the famous painters of The Barbizon School such as Troyon, Corot, Daubigny, and Diaz. Cole exhibited in Paris in the salons of 1866,1867, 1873,1874, 1875 and The Universal Exposition of 1867. He frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and won a medal at the Centennial Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia. Today his art is in collections of the Smithsonian's American Art Museum, London's National Gallery of Art, the Louvre, and New York's Metropolitan Museum among others.
Cole returned to America in 1877. Except for occasional short trips to California and Europe, he spent the rest of his life in New England.
The painting is signed and dated in the bottom left corner “J. Foxcroft Cole, 1878”. The canvas has been relined in the last 30 years. The beautiful frame is gold leaf and gilt on gesso on pine and appears to be original as are the stretchers. Cole was noted for his ability to paint cows and for his excellent cloud formations. Those attributes are clearly evident in this oil painting.
