Sketchbook, page 20: Peaks Island, ME, Sept
Sketchbook, page 20: " Peaks Island, ME, Sept. 7th, 59", 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, specifically page 20. The sketch on display is titled "Peaks Island, ME, Sept. 7th, 59" and was created in the year 1859. Gifford, an esteemed American landscape painter associated with the Hudson River school artists' second generation, resided in New York City and had a studio at the renowned Tenth Street Studio Building. Gifford possessed a deep passion for exploring scenic locations across America during his annual summer trips. In this particular expedition to New Hampshire and Maine in 1859, he meticulously captured various sites such as Dixville Notch, the White Mountains, and Peaks Island in Casco Bay. The graphite study featured here served as a foundation for Gifford's later oil paintings that were meticulously crafted within his studio. One notable example of this process is his painting entitled "A Home in the Wilderness" completed in 1866. Preserved within this bound volume are invaluable glimpses into Gifford's artistic journey through stunning landscapes of unparalleled beauty. This photograph print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images provides us with an opportunity to appreciate not only Gifford's talent but also his dedication to capturing nature's essence on canvas.
