An October Day in the White Mountains, 1854. Creator: John Frederick Kensett (American, 1816-1872)
An October Day in the White Mountains, 1854. Trained as an engraver, Kensett shifted to landscape paintings as a young man. In the summer of 1850, when he was 39, Kensett toured the White Mountains in New Hampshire and sketched this view of Mount Chocurua with the Saco River winding beneath it. Shortly afterward, he created this painting of the scene, which he exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1855. Unlike earlier American landscapists, such as Thomas Cole, who reveled in stormy skies and rocky chasms, Kensetts paintings, such as this one, tend to be peaceful in feeling. Kensett was particularly interested in the subtle changes of colour and clarity that occur as objects recede into the distance, an effect known as " atmospheric perspective."
