EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in Newport, Rhode Island. Painted by renowned American artist John Frederick Kensett in 1871, "Forty Steps" showcases a breathtaking coastline scene with an elevated view to the sea. The oil painting depicts a small group of people, both men and women, enjoying the outdoors on a sunny day. The composition is beautifully balanced, with the curving shoreline leading our eyes towards the headland in the distance. A lone dog accompanies one of the bystanders as they take in the stunning scenery. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from capturing the shape of each figure to rendering realistic waves crashing onto the shore. As we gaze at this late nineteenth-century masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of leisure and physical activity along Newport's coast. The clear blue sky and calm waters create a serene atmosphere that invites us to imagine ourselves walking along these historic Forty Steps. This print serves as both an artistic treasure and historical documentation of life during this period. It reminds us of America's rich artistic heritage while also showcasing Newport's natural beauty. Whether displayed as part of an art collection or simply enjoyed for its aesthetic appeal, this artwork brings together elements that make it truly timeless.
