A prominent artist of the Hudson River School, Jervis McEntee was known for his grand depictions of nature, specifically the Catskill Mountains and various locations throughout the American Northeast. Throughout his career, he befriended many other American painters, such as Eastman Johnson, with whom he travelled to Maine for artistic inspiration. In an 1877 diary entry, McEntee wrote: “Thursday Sept. 27 I went to Kennebunkport in Maine to join Eastman Johnson who recommended me to come there for sketching…remained there until Wednesday Oct 10 when I left…I made a number of sketches of the shore in combination with the sea and did not have a bad day of weather” (The Jervis McEntee Diaries, October 15, 1877, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution). The present work reflects McEntee’s mastery in capturing the American landscape, made more true-to-life by his practice of oil sketching en plein air.
