About the Item
Jim’s of Lambertville Fine Art Gallery is proud to offer this piece by Rae Sloan Bredin (1881 - 1933).
Rae Sloan Bredin, short lived at only fifty-two years of age, was unquestionably one of the New Hope Art Colony’s finest painters. His paintings exemplify Pennsylvania Impressionism at its finest hour. His compositions of children, gracious feminine figures, trees and flowers in bloom, and the landscape surrounding the Delaware River were not scenes of imaginary vision, Bredin was content painting the subjects he saw, where and as he saw them. When it came to his craft, Bredin was not a man of imagination, but an accurate interpreter of everyday life. It just so happened that everyday life in New Hope in the teens, twenties, and thirties, especially in the summer months, was a beautiful place to be.
His delicate taste in color and flawless handling of light was, in part, a recipe for success, but it was also Bredin’s innate sense of beauty and charm clearly evident in his work that made for such appealing results.
Often depicted in his paintings were his wife, Alice, his two young daughters, Jean and Barbara, and his only son, Stephen. Many of his landscapes were painted at the family home called “Shadow Lawn”, situated directly on the Delaware River just outside of New Hope. Bredin, the son of a physician, was born in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 1881. He attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, graduating in 1899. He continued his studies at the New York School of Fine Arts under the instruction of William Merritt Chase, Frank Dumond and Robert Henri. While in New York, Bredin befriended fellow students Robert Spencer and Charles Rosen, whom he would later join in New Hope. Later, after New York, Bredin enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy studying under Thomas Eakins.
Bredin was first introduced to New Hope on a visit to his friend Charles Rosen’s home in 1910. There, he met and later married Alice Price in 1914, who was the sister of the artist, M. Elizabeth Price, and F. Newlin Price, well-known art critic and owner of the Ferargil Gallery in New York City. Shortly thereafter, the Bredins travelled to France and Italy where Rae furthered his studies, and upon their return, purchased a home just north of New Hope.
In 1921, Bredin was made an Associate of the National Academy of Design and taught at the Chase School of Fine Arts in New York. He also became an instructor at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the University of Virginia, the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, the Trenton Academy, and the Holmquist School in New Hope.
Bredin exhibited widely throughout his lifetime at prestigious institutions and won many awards and medals, including a Bronze Medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. He remained a resident of New Hope until his early death in 1933.
His paintings are highly sought after by museums, collectors, and galleries. Because his career was cut short at the age of fifty-two, his body of work is much smaller than many of his contemporaries.

By Frederick Carl Frieseke
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Jim’s of Lambertville Fine Art Gallery is proud to offer this work by Frederick Carl Frieseke (1874 – 1939).
Frederick Carl Frieseke was a member of the third generation of American painters to inhabit and find inspiration from Giverny, France. His use of bright colors and light, to depict the female figure, defined the style of the Giverny group during his residence, synthesizing aspects of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.
Born in the United States, Frieseke studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. In 1898, he moved to Paris to enroll in the Académie Julian, where he studied under Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens. During this time, Frieseke also briefly studied with James A. Whistler, who would prove to be a great inspiration in Frieseke’s early works. From Whistler, Frieseke adopted a tonalist palette and a decorative approach to figurative painting.
While in Paris, Frieseke’s works were featured at the American Art Association of Paris and in several annual salon exhibitions. His painting, “Before the Mirror...

"Solebury Valley"
By William Langson Lathrop
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Signed lower right.
Complemented by a period frame.
William L. Lathrop (1859-1938)
Deemed “Father of the New Hope Art Colony”, William Langson Lathrop was born in Warren, Illinois. He was largely self-taught, having only studied briefly with William Merritt Chase in 1887, at the Art Students League. Lathrop first moved east in the early 1880s, and took a job at the Photoengraving Company in New York City. While there, he befriended a fellow employee, Henry B. Snell. The two men became lifelong friends and ultimately, both would be considered central figures among the New Hope Art Colony.
Lathrop's early years as an artist were ones of continuing struggle. His efforts to break through in the New York art scene seemed futile, so he scraped enough money together to travel to Europe with Henry Snell in1888. There he met and married an English girl, Annie Burt. Upon returning to New York, he tried his hand at etching, making tools from old saw blades...
