Sketchbook, page 07: Carter Mt (?) Aug. 28th, 1859. Creator: Sanford Robinson Gifford
Sketchbook, page 07: " Carter Mt (?) Aug. 28th", 1859. Gifford was an American landscape painter belonging to the second generation of Hudson River school artists. Based in New York City with a studio at the Tenth Street Studio Building, Gifford took annual summer trips to the Catskills, the Adirondacks, and other scenic locations in New England. This sketchbook accompanied the artist on his expedition in 1859 to New Hampshire and Maine, where he drew sites such as Dixville Notch, the White Mountains, and Peaks Island, Casco Bay. Gifford used such graphite studies as the basis for oil paintings worked up in his studio, such as A Home in the Wilderness (1866)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Sanford Robinson Gifford's sketchbook, dated August 28th, 1859. Gifford, an esteemed American landscape painter of the Hudson River school artists' second generation, was known for his breathtaking depictions of nature. Based in New York City at the renowned Tenth Street Studio Building, he would embark on annual summer trips to various scenic locations across New England. The sketchbook featured in this image accompanied Gifford during his expedition to New Hampshire and Maine in 1859. It served as a visual diary where he meticulously captured the beauty of sites such as Dixville Notch, the White Mountains, and Peaks Island in Casco Bay. These graphite studies acted as references for later oil paintings that he would create back in his studio. One notable example is "A Home in the Wilderness" (1866), which exemplifies how Gifford transformed these sketches into magnificent works of art. This particular photograph print offers us a glimpse into Gifford's creative process and allows us to appreciate his mastery of capturing light and atmosphere through delicate pencil strokes. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images and housed within The Cleveland Museum of Art collection, this bound volume serves as a testament to Gifford's artistic legacy and provides art enthusiasts with an invaluable window into America's rich cultural heritage.
