Description
DURRIE, George Henry (1820-1863).
Untitled, (Rural Fishing Scene).
Oil on Canvas.
Signed lower left: "Durrie / 1856".
29 1/2" x 24 5/8" canvas, 35 1/4" x 30 1/8" framed.
Full write-up by William H. Gerdts avilable upon request.
"The single figure of the fisherman functions in many ways in this painting. He not only gives human presence and a bit of activity to an otherwise uninhabited scene, but also confirms the rural nature of the landscape. A small figure, in comparison to the lofty trees on either side, such a contrast exalts the splendor of nature. But in addition, the very act of fishing was a common motif among American painters of the rural landscape; Durrie himself painted several others, though the present work is, for the artist, a particularly sizable example." - Gerdts
