In 1940, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, Jr. commissioned artist Mitchell Jamieson to create a series of paintings as a gift to President Roosevelt. Jamieson spent the summer living at Val-Kill Cottage and produced twenty-six watercolors of scenes in and around Hyde Park, New York. The paintings seen here are a selection of these works depicting various Roosevelt properties:

Before the Storm – a view near Val-Kill Pond

The Brook – a bridge at Val-Kill

Cottage – Top Cottage, FDR’s Hyde Park retreat

Mitchell Jamieson (1915-1976) became an artist for the Treasury Department’s Art Project, part of the WPA, in the 1930s. During that time he was commissioned to paint murals in various government buildings, including the mural of Marian Anderson in the Interior Building in Washington, D.C. In 1935, he spent a summer as an artist-in-residence on Fishkill Farms, Morgenthau’s property in the Hudson Valley, where he painted pastoral scenes. Jamieson later joined the Navy during World War II as an officer-artist. Jamieson’s paintings serve as a record of what he witnessed during war. Seen above is a print of Jamieson’s 1943 Convoy Entering Mers-El-Kebir.
