About the Item
A beautiful coastal painting by Massachusetts artist Joseph H. Greenwood, known for his evocative New England landscapes. This work captures the quiet charm of the Dartmouth coast near Nonquitt, where Greenwood summered with fellow artist Robert Swain Gifford (1840-1905). Greenwood depicts the shore’s rolling sand dunes, windswept grasses, and calm waters under a softly clouded sky. In the distance, small cottages appear to dot the coast. The precise location appears to be a view of Round Hill Beach and Buzzards Bay.
Greenwood’s confident brushwork and gentle palette give the scene wonderful texture and a calming atmosphere. This is among Greenwood’s only recorded depictions of a beach with most of his output defined by pastoral landscapes.
The work is oil on canvas and is signed and dated in the lower right. It is housed in a wonderful antique gilt frame.

About the artist:
The son of French-Canadian immigrants, Greenwood grew up in Spencer, MA. He left school at 11 years old to work in a local boot factory and later wire mill. Meanwhile, he scavenged chicken feathers for brushes and wallpaper scraps for pigment to create his first works of art. The wealthy mill owner recognized Greenwood's inclination for art and sent him to Wilbraham Academy for two terms of study.
A prolific painter, Greenwood preferred the natural landscape as his subject and captured the pastoral beauty of rural New England in all its glorious seasons. He painted scenes from Worcester's Green Hill Park, Paxton's Davis Hill Farm (now Moore State Park), Grafton's Pigeon Hill, and the Western Massachusetts villages of Greenwich and Prescott, that were later flooded to create the massive Quabbin Reservoir. The paintings are distinctively New England.
Greenwood's work shows the influence of his contemporaries, such as George Inness and Willard Metcalf. His later work adopts the thick brush strokes and light palette of the Impressionists. Yet he remained staunchly independent, refusing to attach any label to his work.
Greenwood lived much of his adulthood in Worcester, where he embraced the local arts community. He associated with the Worcester Art Student's Club, was a charter member of the Bohemian Club, and became a corporator of the Worcester Art Museum. He summered at the Nonquitt, Massachusetts camp of prominent artist Robert Swain Gifford and studied in Boston with J. Appleton Brown. Greenwood's reputation grew as he exhibited his work in Boston, Providence, New York and at the 1892 Chicago World's Fair. In 1926, his work was included with celebrated artists George Inness, Bruce Crane, Dwight Tryon and others in an exhibition titled “Selected Paintings by Modern Masters.”
