Among the first American painters to dedicate himself to landscape, Asher Brown Durand was best known for his detailed renderings of America’s natural bounty. His early work as a watchmaker and engraver accounts for his fine, linear style. This quiet picnic scene boasts a romantic and lyrical spirit: the precisely rendered foliage and expansive vantage point express the beneficence of nature, a common theme among nineteenth-century landscape painters.
