Hugh bolton jones biography

Hugh Bolton Jones (October 20, 1848 – September 24, 1927) was an American landscape painter. He grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, where he received his early training as an artist. While studying in New York he was strongly influenced by Frederic Edwin Church of the Hudson River School.

He was celebrated for his realistic depictions of calm rural scenes of the eastern United States at different times of the year, usually empty of people.

Note :

Hugh Bolton Jones remains among my favorite painters.  Jones is often classified with the Hudson River School of painters.  However his works – this painting in particular – have a wonderful luminescence of color that goes beyond most of the works of the school, moving into the higher key and clearer hue of the Impressionists, yet retaining the exactness of the scene he depicted, sometimes with single hair brushes. His ability to depict dead branches and foliage
