Jasper Francis Cropsey Sold at Auction Prices

Landscape painter, Painter, b. 1823 - d. 1900

When an employer saw 15-year-old Jasper Francis Cropsey's paintings and realized his talent, he provided him with the tools and opportunity to develop his skills. During this five-year architectural apprenticeship, which also developed his ability to draw buildings, he was trained and influenced by Maury, Ranney, and Mount, watercolor and genre painters of the mid-1800s. Jasper Francis Cropsey's paintings were vivid, intricately colored landscapes, created in watercolors and oils with great accuracy and attention to detail.

Cropsey's paintings for sale in the early days mainly covered his years of growing up on the farm on Staten Island. Later, Jasper Cropsey's prints helped residents of Europe learn about the landscapes of North America. In 1867, Cropsey became a founding member of the American Watercolor Society and gained his name on the art scene as a Hudson River School painter. Purchase historic landscape paintings online to capture a little piece of bygone days.

Exhibition “19th Century American Topographic Painters,” Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, November 21, 1974-January 5, 1975, no. 33. Literature 19th Century American Topographic Painters, an exhibition catalogue, University of Miami, Cora Gables, 1974, p. 12 (illustrated). Anthony Speiser et al., Jasper Francis Cropsey: Catalogue Raisonné: Works in Oil, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York; and Newington-Cropsey Foundation, New York, 2013, Vol. II, p. 24, no. 851 (illustrated as NCF 626) Lot Essay The present lot will be accompanied by a copy of a Letter of Authenticity written by Mr. Kenneth W. Maddox, dated May 10, 2004, in which the work is described as being included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Cropsey's work. Cropsey, a prominent figure of the Hudson River School, earned the nickname "The Painter of Autumn" for his frequent depictions of the season. But beyond grand vistas of the Hudson Valley, Cropsey found inspiration closer to home in the Greenwood Lake region, straddling the border between New Jersey and New York. It is here that the artist offered a more intimate version of autumn. Cropsey's Greenwood Lake landscapes are characterized by a rich tapestry of color. He reveled in the fiery oranges, deep reds, and burnished yellows that transformed trees and foliage, often setting them against a backdrop of forested mountains or under a blush-colored sky, as in the present painting. As in his most compelling works, light serves a vital function; here, sun filters through the clouds, casting long shadows and illuminating the mirror-like surface of the water. Cropsey's Greenwood Lake paintings were more than just picturesque panoramas. He regularly included figures–hunters with their dogs, families picnicking or, here, a man and his horse en route to a rustic cabin–which serve as counterpoints to the splendor of the season. These figures add a sense of scale and narrative, and are suggestive of a (seemingly) harmonious relationship between nature and culture. While Cropsey's larger-scale works celebrate the vastness of the American landscape, works like Landscape, Near Greenwood Lake, N.J. extol the serene beauty of a region that fascinated him throughout his career.

          Est: -

          Jasper Francis Cropsey 19th c. Oil on Canvas of Autumnal River Landscape Jasper Francis Cropsey (American, 1823-1900) and bears his signature lower right. Date of 1889 also shown. Both painting and frame in good condition. In frame, the painting measures 25 1/2"17 1/2". Sight measurement is 20" by 12". The photos of the painting have been taken in different levels of light hence the differences. 12/29: Have had requests of a high resolution photo or two and a photo of the back and these are included at the end. In looking at the back, we do not see any evidence of relining of the painting and everything appears to be original with no repair work or patches. We do not know the provenance of the early days of the painting but in 1991, when Tolie's mother passed and there was an inventory of her estate, this painting was listed. So, we know that the family had this painting prior to 1991. Wished we knew when it was purchased by the family, but we don't.
