Sketchbook, page 05: Bethel ME Aug 19th, 1859. Creator: Sanford Robinson Gifford
Sketchbook, page 05: " Bethel ME Aug 19th", 1859. Gifford was an American landscape painter belonging to the second generation of Hudson River school artists. Based in New York City with a studio at the Tenth Street Studio Building, Gifford took annual summer trips to the Catskills, the Adirondacks, and other scenic locations in New England. This sketchbook accompanied the artist on his expedition in 1859 to New Hampshire and Maine, where he drew sites such as Dixville Notch, the White Mountains, and Peaks Island, Casco Bay.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a page from Sanford Robinson Gifford's sketchbook, dated August 19th, 1859, in Bethel ME. Gifford was an esteemed American landscape painter associated with the second generation of Hudson River school artists. This particular sketchbook accompanied him on his expedition to New Hampshire and Maine in 1859, where he meticulously recorded various scenic locations such as Dixville Notch, the White Mountains, and Peaks Island in Casco Bay. Gifford's sketches served as the foundation for his later oil paintings created in his studio at the Tenth Street Studio Building in New York City. One notable example is "A Home in the Wilderness" painted in 1866. The artist frequently embarked on summer trips to picturesque destinations like the Catskills and Adirondacks. This photograph showcases one of Gifford's graphite studies within a bound volume. It offers us a glimpse into his creative process and reveals how he translated these initial sketches into stunning oil paintings that captured the beauty of America's landscapes during this period. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images and housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print not only celebrates Gifford's artistic talent but also serves as a testament to his contribution to American art history during the 19th century.
