Arthur Parton (Hudson, New York 1842-1914) Vue du lac au coucher du soleil
Arthur Parton (Hudson, New York 1842-1914) Vue du lac au coucher du soleil signé, daté et inscrit (partiellement illisible) 'Arthur Parton 1880/Boston' (en bas à gauche) huile sur toile signed, dated and indistinctly inscribed 'Arthur Parton 1880/Boston' (lower left) oil on canvas 96.7 x 71.5cm (38 1/16 x 28 1/8in). Footnotes: Provenance Private Collection, France A key figure associated with the second generation of the Hudson River School, Arthur Parton later embraced the more atmospheric sensibilities of American Tonalism. Trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and influenced by his travels in Europe, Parton developed a refined approach to landscape that prioritized mood and light over topographical detail. In the present work, the artist captures the subtle effects of dusk with a restrained palette and luminous handling of reflection and sky, characteristic of his mature work. The composition exemplifies his interest in conveying a contemplative vision of nature, bridging the romanticism of mid-19th-century American landscape painting with the tonal aesthetics that would dominate the turn of the century.
