Sanford Robinson Gifford was a definitive painter of the Hudson River School, known for his remarkable renderings of atmospheric effects. Understanding the spiritual and emotional inspiration to be drawn from a landscape, Gifford depicted brilliant vistas marked by an aerial luminism that transformed his paintings from landscapes into poetic masterpieces. Born in the heart of the Hudson River Valley, Gifford had a special affinity for the region, which proved to be one of his favorite subjects. Over the course of his career he traveled extensively throughout the Catskills, Adirondacks, and White Mountains, and the natural beauty he observed during these journeys became an endless source of inspiration for his paintings. Upon his death in 1880, The Metropolitan Museum of Art held a special retrospective of his work to commemorate his career. selected exhibitions National Academy of Design, 1847–68, 1870, 1872–74, 1876–80 Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 1856 Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1867 The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1874, 1880 Centennial Loan Exhibition, Hartford, 1875 selected collections Brooklyn Museum, New York Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
