Cornelius Krieghoff

In the case of Cornelius Krieghoff (1815-1872), I'm stretching the meaning of my blog's title to mean "North American" - Krieghoff was one of the most prominent Canadian painters of the 19th century. His scenes of outdoor life are reminiscent of the work of the Hudson River School painters, though I am unaware of any contact between them.

Winslow Homer

Winslow Homer (1836-1910) is one of my favorite American artists. He got his start as an illustrator for Harper's Weekly during the Civil War. While it could be argued that he just cashed in on nostalgia, his canvases offer magical depictions of the minutiae of bygone lifeways. A versatile artist, he was equally at home with woodcuts, oils and watercolors.

The National Gallery of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of New York both have nice features on Winslow.
