EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Sanford Robinson Gifford's sketchbook, specifically page 40 featuring a breathtaking Maine Landscape. Gifford, an esteemed American landscape painter and part of the second generation of Hudson River school artists, left an indelible mark on the art world with his stunning depictions of nature. The sketchbook accompanied Gifford during his expedition in 1859 to New Hampshire and Maine, where he sought inspiration from the picturesque landscapes that surrounded him. From Dixville Notch to the White Mountains and Peaks Island in Casco Bay, Gifford meticulously captured these scenic locations using graphite studies as a foundation for his later oil paintings. Based in New York City at the renowned Tenth Street Studio Building, Gifford would embark on annual summer trips to various enchanting destinations such as the Catskills and Adirondacks. These journeys allowed him to immerse himself in nature's beauty and translate it onto canvas with remarkable skill. The featured photograph offers us a glimpse into Gifford's artistic process and serves as a testament to his dedication towards capturing the essence of America's natural wonders. With each stroke of graphite on this bound volume, he laid down the groundwork for future masterpieces like "A Home in the Wilderness" (1866). Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images and now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate both Gifford's talent as well as our country's awe-inspiring landscapes
