​The New England Landscape
Works from the 19th & 20th centuries.
​On view in the Upstairs Gallery, April 13 - September 30, 2019

New Hampshire Antique Co-op is pleased to present The New England Landscape: Works from the 19th–21st Centuries, an exhibit and sale of paintings spanning more than 200 years of artists’ interpretations of the timeless and iconic views unique to New England. From fields and forests to lakes and mountains, this region has long been an inspiration to painters, poets and artists of all kinds.

Featured artists from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries include William Sonntag, Willard Leroy Metcalf, Robert Vonnoh, Aldro Hibbard, Henry Ward Ranger, Ben Foster, Eric Sloane, William Hart, William Jurian Kaula, Paul Sample, Frank Vincent Dumond and William Preston Phelps. Also included in the exhibit are contemporary New England artists Erik Koeppel, Dave Dodge and William Davis.

A prominent work in the exhibit is a Vermont landscape by Willard Leroy Metcalf (1858-1925). Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, and brought up on a farm in Maine, Metcalf’s knowledge of the picturesque New England countryside came early. He studied with landscape masters in Boston and then in France. His interest in Impressionism led him in 1898 to become one of the founders of The Ten, a group of Boston and New York painters pioneering and promoting their work and the Impressionist style. In 1904, Metcalf sought a retreat in rural Maine. Inspired by the scenery, Metcalf went on to paint the diverse New England landscapes for which he became best known. In 1925, Metcalf was named the “poet laureate of the New England hills.” He also was influential in the Cornish Art Colony in Cornish, New Hampshire, which was founded in 1885 by the notable sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
