How exciting that @ComptonVerney has been shortlisted for the Art Fund Museum of the Year - I was so lucky to be able to curate Landscape and Imagination for them last year. It’s a great venue and I wish them luck!

These paintings in our collection are by Asher B. Durand, an American landscape painter of the Hudson River School. Essentially self-taught, Durand often worked outdoors—en plein air—at locations like the Adirondacks, Catskills, and the White Mountains.
