Asher Brown Durand trained as an engraver before becoming a painter and it shows. In "The Beeches", every ridge of bark and patch of moss is painted with remarkable care, reflecting the precision he developed as a printmaker. The shepherd and his flock move quietly toward a patch of golden light beneath towering beech trees. Painted by one of the leading artists of the Hudson River School, the work celebrates the beauty of America's forests at a time when the landscape was rapidly changing. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com
