John Frederick Kensett - Paintings

John Frederick Kensett was an American landscape painter who can be counted to the Hudson River School. He also painted marine pictures and was a gifted steel engraver. During lifetime, he received much attention.
Born: 22 March 1818 in Cheshire, Connecticut
Died: 16 December 1872 in New York
In addition to drawing, John Frederick Kensett is trained by his father and uncle in the family-own craft of steel engraving, a gravure-printing process. This provides him the possibility to produce numerous prints. At the age of 22, he goes to England to apply what he has learned. He also discovers painting very early on and trains himself on a three-year trip through Europe. Subsequently, he moves to New York. There, he is appointed a full member of the National Academy of Design. He belongs to the commissioners who, in 1859, deal with the inner design of the Washington capitol building. The New York Metropolitan Museum, of which John Frederick Kensett is a founding member, acquires some of his landscape paintings, including “Lake George”, for which he is known in his lifetime and later becomes known again. To depict nature in all its facets is as important to this artist as to create harmony between all elements in his paintings.
