About the Item

19th Century Oil Painting on canvas, wooden support Signed JR Meeker (Lower Left) An early autumn landscape of the American South showing two boaters on a lake, painted in the Hudson River School style. Joseph Rusling Meeker (American, 1827-1887) After serving in the Union Navy, Joseph Meeker settled in St. Louis and became one of the leading painters of the Southern landscape. He studied at the National Academy of Design under Asher B. Durand, but his style was most influenced by his experience in the Mississippi Delta during the Civil War. Famous for his evocative paintings of swamps and bayous, Meeker imbued his landscapes with a romantic and mysterious air. He was a leading figure in St. Louis’ burgeoning art scene and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art and the Boston Art Club. His work can now be found in the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Newark Museum and the St. Louis Art Museum Provenance: Private Collection, American South Lisa Kurts Gallery, Memphis, Tennessee Private Collection, New York

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...
