John Bunyan Bristol, N.A., (National Academician of the Academy of Artists
Architects), he was a landscap painter, born in Hillsdale, New York, March 14, 1826. His early life was a struggle without aid, instruction. At the beginning of his career he painted figures and portraits, but afterward turned his attention exclusively to landscapes. His studies were from nature.
He was primarily a self-taught artist, however, he did study briefly with the landscapist Henry Ary, who moved to the Hudson area in the early 1840s. Painters in Hudson were noted as landscape specialists, and Ary, who was known for his picturesque views of the town and nearby Mount Merino, was the instructor in painting and drawing at the Hudson Female Academy, and had some influence on artists in the area. Unlike his contemporaries Asher B. Durand, John W. Casilear, and John F. Kensett, he never traveled to Europe, but Bristol's distinctive style was consistent with the early spirit of the Hudson River School.
Bristol became a highly accomplished artist who painted most extensively in the Adirondacks, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont. He produced works displaying land, water and mountain views with a luminous quality. In 1860 he made his home in New York City, finding inspiration for his landscapes in the Berkshire Mountains, along the New Jersey coast, around Lake George and Lake Champlain, the Connecticut River Valley, the Green Mountains and throughout New England.
As Samuel Isham in "The History of American Painting", 1942 observed: "No one constructs a landscape more firmly than he; the solidity of the earth, the level of the lake, the plane of the distant hills, the enveloping of all by the summer sky with sunlit clouds – all are given with an absolute sureness…". Like his colleagues Kensett and Durand, with whom he is often compared, Bristol accurately captured the spirit of the landscape while remaining true to the ideals of the Hudson River School.
At sight measurements are 30" in width and 18" in height.

Autumn Landscape
By William Louis Sonntag Sr. 1
Located in Milford, NH
A wonderful Autumn landscape likely of the Hudson River Valley by the revered American artist William Louis Sonntag (1822-1900). Sonntag was born near Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Cincinnati, OH in the 1840’s to study art. He studied for a brief time with G. Frankenstein at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art and his idealized paintings of American wilderness and visionary paintings of imagined European ruins were commercially successful. He traveled twice to Europe in the 1850’s to improve his skills, eventually settling in New York City. He joined the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited his works for forty years. His mature works identify him with the Hudson River School of landscape painters. A romantic and naturalistic painter of his surroundings, Sonntag also created idealized paintings of Roman ruins, recalling his European trips of earlier years.
Sonntag was an Associate (1860) and Academician (1861) at the National Academy of Design, and a member of the American Watercolor Society, Artists Fund Society, and the American Art Union...
