Work Creator notes (display):
American landscape painter. Born in Cheshire, Conn., Kensett trained as an engraver and worked for his father and uncle c.1828c.1840. Presumably he also painted for in 1840 he sailed to England with Asher Durand and spent the next seven years studying and painting in England, France, Switzerland, and Italy. Early works, like English Landscape (c.18435; New York, Brooklyn Mus.), are painterly and vigorous but when he returned to America a Claudean calm pervaded his work, brush strokes were eliminated, tonal changes were virtually imperceptible, and, like earlier members of the Hudson River School, he imposed a Romantic sensibility on the vast American wilderness. His acute observation of light effects, refined from nature, in works like the misty Lake George (1869; New York, Met. Mus.), associate him with luminism. Towards the end of his life the format of his work became increasingly horizontal, often of extensive coastal views like the Coast Scene with Figures (1869; Hartford, Conn., Wadsworth Atheneum), a Friedrich-like essay in Romanticism. Kensett played an active role in public life and was a founder trustee of the Metropolitan Museum, New York, in 1870. (Grove Art Online Accessed 2006-07-28)
