Painting
Long celebrated as our city’s founder, Nathaniel Rochester (1752–1831) was recently discovered to have bought and sold enslaved people while he lived in Maryland. Not only did Rochester buy and sell enslaved people in the South as a business venture, he continued to own and profit from the labor of enslaved individuals after moving north. In fact, he did so until New York State law made it impossible for him to continue in 1827. This information makes evident how insidious and enmeshed slavery was in the business life of the early nineteenth century, even in the northern states.
Many decades before Kodak gave us the snapshot, a portrait such as this one was a way for a privileged, white person of this period to capture their likeness for posterity. In comparison, the enslaved Black men, women, and children of Rochester’s household did not have their portraits painted. Their names, likenesses, and personal stories went largely unrecorded and most have not survived history—another example of the dehumanization of enslaved individuals during this period of American history.

Painting
The large steamship in this painting, the James Fisk, Jr., was a ferryboat with a side paddlewheel, decorated with oversized flags and at least six gold eagles. It was named for its owner, a powerful financier who lived a colorful life that was ended by a scandalous shooting. Fisk also owned the Bristol, which can be seen in the distance.
Known for his pristine depictions of ferries and steamboats, self-taught artist James Bard painted so accurately that it was said that shipbuilders could rebuild their boats based on his works.

Painting
James Beard had first-hand experience as a captain in the Union army during the Civil War. This painting, completed in the year the war ended, is a dramatic statement about the ever-present possibility of death on the battlefield.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Were it not for details like the skeleton keeping vigil behind the cannon, the cruciform composition of the flag draped over the sleeping soldier, and the scattered playing cards suggestive of luck and chance, this painting would be a simple narrative about the Civil War. However, such potent symbolism imbues the work with layers of spiritual significance.
Perhaps the reminders of death and sacrifice that the artist included in his masterful painting emerged from his firsthand experience in the Union Army during the Civil War. The meticulously selected and carefully arranged details attest to the poignancy of the soldiers' situation and contrast with the implied violence that will occur on the morrow.

Bierstadt was one of the most gifted artists to depict the stunning mountain views of the expanding frontier, far west of the Hudson River region that had inspired earlier American landscape painters. He was a member of the generation of artist-explorers who traveled with expeditions or in their footsteps and recorded the visual experience. MAG's painting quietly but masterfully convinces us of the grandeur of mountains and sky by including the tiny deer to give a sense of scale, and by suffusing the surface of the painting with a warm, glowing palette.

This brooding, moody canvas was created by one of the most haunted souls in the history of American art. Ralph Blakelock, a man diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and placed in a sanitarium for fifteen years, painted some of the most mysterious, expressive and poetic paintings in 19th century America. Indeed, his interest in and exploration of the unknown and the expressive were deeply admired by such radical 20th century abstract painters as Willem deKooning, Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline....

Painting
Blythe’s painting shows a scene of frontier justice in a rough building serving as a courtroom. A backwoods “lawyer” at the center either defends or makes his case against a shackled prisoner at the right. However, some elements of the scene, including the onlookers—some armed with long guns, some distracted by a card game—and the pot and sack at the lower left labelled “tar” and “feathers,” reveal that this is an extrajudicial proceeding. The prisoner whittles unconcernedly while his fate is decided, suggesting that this is a typically satirical genre scene for Blythe, who made other paintings of farcical trials and caricatured politics.

Sculpture
If you approached 50 West Main Street in Rochester late in the 19th century, you would have seen this figure standing in front of the tobacco shop located there. So that no one would miss the point that tobacco products were sold inside, it was purchased to stand outside and advertise the shop’s wares. The carving included stylized tobacco leaves and a tobacco box held in the figure’s outstretched right hand.
Carvers capitalized early on the relationship between Native Americans and the tobacco that they grew for sacred practices. Carvings of Native Americans were used by the 18th century in British tobacco shops, reflecting the growth of the transatlantic trade. With laws restricting sidewalk signs, and the decline of tobacco shops due to public health awareness, the once-ubiquitous cigar store Indian has become a rarity.

Although Cassatt began her artistic training in Pennsylvania, from an early age she frequently traveled and lived in Europe. She settled in Paris in 1874, where she became a close friend of Edgar Degas. She soon became affiliated with the French Impressionists and exhibited with them from 1879 until 1886.
Here, the mandolin player holds her instrument as though she were actually playing it while looking at the music on the stand. She is seated on an upholstered settee in a room with a framed picture and a fan on the wall behind her.

Painting
Shooting Flamingoes is a shocking and confusing painting to 21st century sensibilities. To our eyes, the mass killing of the flamingoes is unthinkable, sensitive as we are to the role hunting has played in the extinction of many species over the past century and a half. To our eyes, the startled native guide is an offensive stereotype, a comic, cartoon-like character next to the upright, composed figure of the hunter.
In pre-Civil War America, George Catlin, a well-known artist of the period, was commissioned to create a nine-part series to glorify the Colt rifle. Shooting Flamingoes was one image in that advertising campaign. While the original intent of this painting doesn’t invalidate our contemporary reactions, it does set the piece within a historical context that explains its initial point-of-view.

Painting
At a time when there was no photography, videography, or cinema, people relied on landscape paintings to be their windows onto the world beyond their immediate horizons.
Thomas Chambers capitalized on people's interest in the American landscape. He is noted for his many picturesque views of early 19th-century America, including this one of the United States Military Academy at West Point on the Hudson River. Chambers worked from personal observation, but also consulted many British and American prints for his paintings.
You should not be surprised if you visit other museums and see a painting similar to this one. At least six other views of West Point were painted by Chambers.

Drawing
Painter William Merritt Chase and his family summered in a home built for them by the distinguished architect Stanford White in Shinnecock Hills. In that small community near Southampton, Long Island, Chase had established a summer school of art. Hundreds of students convened in the region from 1891 - 1902, dotting the landscape with their easels as they attempted to capture on canvas the truth of nature en plein air ("in the open air").
Typical of this period are the artist's paintings and drawings of his three young daughters exploring the landscape near their vacation retreat. High-keyed summery colors and rapid Impressionistic strokes convey the brilliance of the sky, the wildflowers and the ocean.

Like many artists, Thomas Cole traveled extensively, sketching views that he would later include in finished (and much larger) paintings. On a trip to the Upstate New York region, he sketched Deh-ga-ya-soh Creek at what is now Letchworth State Park in Mount Morris. Later that year, he used the sketch to create this study, which ultimately became the subject of the 'Genesee Scenery' (1847, 51 x 39 1/2 inches, owned by the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design).

Drawing
Head of a Young Woman is the only silver point drawing in MAG’s collection. It is also the only American artwork that was given to the Gallery by Bertha Buswell, whose taste ran nearly exclusively to European fine and decorative arts. Unfortunately, we do not know anything about how or why she acquired such an anomaly, albeit a beautiful one, for her collection.
Silver point was a technique used extensively in the Renaissance and revived in the United States in the late 19th century. Every line was created by dragging a silver stylus across the surface of a specially-prepared paper. The stylus left a trail of silver on the paper, requiring perfect control by the artist, as this was not a forgiving medium where mistakes could be corrected with an eraser. With exposure to the air, the silver tarnished and created a warm brown tone. Because of the fragility of the silver and the paper, this lovely work is rarely exhibited.

Painting
Asher B. Durand was commissioned to paint this magnificent vista overlooking the Genesee River Valley in Geneseo, New York, by a member of the Wadsworth family, the village founders. At one time, they owned all the land from Geneseo to Rochester.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
No matter what the weather, this view across the Genesee Valley near Geneseo is as breathtaking now as it was over two hundred years ago, when landowner James S. Wadsworth commissioned Hudson River school founder Asher B. Durand to record the beauty of the landscape in a painting. In the summer of 1859, Durand traveled from New York City to the Genesee Valley to make preparatory sketches. Trained as an engraver, he recorded many of the details that he saw, but in addition, his personal belief in the immanence of the divine in the natural world motivated him to present a landscape that seems to extend infinitely.
Statuesque oak trees, many of which are still standing on the land, dominate the painting. In this region, the trees were more than a decorative feature. When the Wadsworths began to sell and lease land to local farmers, they included a clause in the contract requiring that a number of trees remain after the land was cleared. This was a holdover from British husbandry; the result was a countryside that was not only beautiful but that provided sun and moisture control for humans and animals alike. Genesee Oaks was Durand's tribute to the splendor of this valley.
[Gallery label text]
Durand visited the Genesee country but once, sketching in the Geneseo area during late June and July of 1859. Of his trip he wrote to his son in August: "With all my troubles I believe I have learnt more about the management of colors in the painting of trees than by all my previous practice, altho' I have never produced so little in the same span of time, not having made but four studies in five weeks."
During the following year, back in his studio, Durand painted Genesee Oaks, based on the sketches he had made. The painting was commissioned by James Samuel Wadsworth, a local squire, who owned the work when it was exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1861. Seven oil studies done near Geneseo in 1859 are photographed in Durand's studio after 1878. A photograph shows three small sculptures of cows, two standing, one reclining that may have served as models for the animals in the painting.

Painting
At first glance, it is tempting to interpret this painting as a celebration of mid-century American bounty. However, a second look finds half-eaten fruit pierced by a knife, bruised peaches, and a hungry hornet, images that suggest overripeness and decay. These elements can be traced back to 16th and 17th century Dutch still life traditions, particularly vanitas paintings that warned of the ephemeral nature of life.
Whether or not John Francis – originally an itinerant, self-taught portrait painter – was consciously invoking old master painting traditions, his involvement with the artistic community in Philadelphia would have exposed him to sophisticated subjects and tastes that, perhaps, he incorporated into his work.

Sophia Josephine Dixon, born circa 1852 - date of death unknown
Hiram, Angeline and daughter, Sophia Josephine Dixon portraits are not signed or dated. We believe all three were painted by the same artist, Jefferson Gauntt. The Dixon family’s life dates have been obtained through research. Based on these dates we speculate the portraits were painted between 1840 and 1860.
Tombstone, Oct. 2010, Colleen Piccone
A favorite of MAG visitors, the portrait of Sophia Josephine Dixon was conserved in 2006 through a Lower Hudson Conference Conservation Treatment Grant and has been on view in the 19th century American gallery. We are happy to reunite her with her parents, Hiram and Angeline Dixon, whose portraits were conserved in 2008 through the Henry Luce Foundation American Art Conservation Grant. This is the first time that MAG has exhibited the portraits together as a family. They were given to the Gallery by Sophia Josephine’s daughter, Mrs. George B. Penny.
The Dixons’ daughter, Sophia Josephine, holds her pet goldfinch on a string, illustrating her patience and nurturing nature in training a wild bird as her pet. Her white dress with blue ribbon sash, lace pantaloons and straw hat are those of a well-bred young girl from a successful American family. In the early nineteenth century, girls were generally depicted in domestic settings. By 1831, however, “The Mother’s Book” by Lydia Child argued that girls as well as boys would benefit from open air and should be allowed to play outside.
The Dixon family lived north of New York City, first in Hudson, NY and then in Tarrytown, NY.

Who was the West Wind? In Greek mythology, the West Wind was Zephyrus, one of the four wind gods. Perhaps the maker of this work, who was influenced by the mythological subjects that he saw in Italy, was describing the West Wind by showing its effect on the figure’s hair and skirt. Another interpretation suggests that the sculpture is an idealized expression of the United States’s westward expansion. It was exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia on the occasion of the nation’s hundredth birthday in 1876. The starred belt on the waistband of the figure’s clothing could refer to the stars on the American flag.
When English poet Percy Shelley wrote his Ode to the West Wind in 1820, he closed it with these immortal words:
O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Eliza Pratt Greatorex traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Much of her art reflects her peripatetic life, such as this view of a pond in the village of Cernay la Ville, on the outskirts of Paris.

Painting
Two masterpieces of nature – the hummingbird and the orchid – were subjects that Martin Johnson Heade painted repeatedly. Beginning in 1863, Heade made the first of three trips to Brazil to paint the bird that remained a life-long obsession. Heade wrote, “A few years after my appearance in this breathing world I was attacked by the all-absorbing hummingbird craze and it has never left me since.”
The exotic South American jungle was a far cry from the marshes and fields of Heade’s native New England, but both landscapes inspired his passion for the natural world and nurtured the intertwined development of his scientific interest and his artistic brilliance.

Painting
This painting was never intended to hang on a wall. Rather, it was created as part of a wall to decorate a panel underneath a tall window in the parlor of a home in Eagle Mills, New York, near Albany.
The artist was an unusual individual. In addition to painting scenes to decorate rooms in the Albany region, Joseph Hidley was a house painter, a carpenter, and arranger of stuffed birds and dried flowers.
For his underwindow panels, he is thought to have derived his inspiration from European viewbooks, which is why this scene is reminiscent of a Swiss landscape. We are still trying to locate the original view that Hidley copied.

Homer also illustrated life on the home front for Harper’s Weekly magazine as well as battlefield scenes. This print appeared in the July 20, 1861 issue, only a few months following the beginning of the Civil War. The following commentary was included on the page following the cover image: "We give on the preceding page a picture of FILLING CARTRIDGES at the United States Arsenal at Watertown, Massachusetts. At this establishment some 300 operatives are kept constantly at work making war material. The powder…is inserted in the cartridge by men, as shown in the lower picture. The bullet is inserted by girls, as shown in the picture above. At least seventy girls and women are kept constantly employed at Watertown in this avocation. The amount of cartridges turned out daily at this factory alone is enormous; and it is evident that, in the course of a few weeks, there will be no lack of this material of war, at all events."

The remote North Woods Club in the Adirondacks was a favorite retreat for Winslow Homer. There, he painted over a hundred oils and watercolors and found congenial friends, including 22-year-old Ernest Yalden, son of members of the club and the subject of this painting. Yalden recalled Homer’s interest in capturing the play of light flashing off the blades as he paddled his own self-built, light-weight canoe.
The year after Homer painted him in his canoe, Yalden graduated with a civil engineering degree and started a trade school in New York City for uneducated Jewish immigrants. He founded the Mineralogy Club of New York and trained men to be navigators during World War I. An authority on sun-dialing, he became an accomplished amateur astronomer who built an observatory in his back yard.

Many of Homer’s illustrations for Harper’s Weekly magazine, like this one from May 17, 1862, were based on sketches inspired by his personal experiences. His mother wrote, “Winslow went to the war front of Yorktown and camped out about two months. He suffered much, was without food 3 days at a time, & all in camp either died or were carried away with typhoid fever–plug tobacco and coffee was the Staples….He came home so changed that his best friends did not know him…”.
Journalist Steve Mumford wrote one hundred and fifty years later: “What I found moving about Homer’s work was that it wasn’t directly about the morality of the Civil War, so much as it sought to recreate the experience of the soldiers. His art rarely read as propaganda. It showed the powerful bonding among men on the front lines, as well as the terror. Homer had experienced it and drawn it.” [Gallery label, February 21, 2012]

Winslow Homer brought the Civil War to the home front with his illustrations in Harper’s Weekly magazine, including this one from June 8, 1861, shortly after the fighting had begun. The following commentary about the crossing from Washington, D.C. to Alexandria, Virginia appeared in the June 8, 1861 issue:
The scene at the bridges was grand and impressive beyond description…The night was cool and clear, thousands of men were drawn up in a line and defiling past, but hardly a whisper was heard from among them. They all preserved a solemn silence, as though sensible of the momentousness of the occasion; but the rumbling of artillery, the clatter of cavalry, the muskets and ordnance glittering in the moonlight, the suppressed commands of the officers, imparted, nevertheless, a liveliness to the imposing spectacle.
Among the groups of soldiers making the crossing were regiments from New York State. [Gallery label, February 21, 2012]

In the course of his long and distinguished career, Winslow Homer shifted his focus from robust descriptions of American life to studies of interaction between man and the powerful forces of nature, particularly the ocean. This evocative painting of his studio at his family’s compound on the coast of Maine in Prout’s Neck, near Portland, is considered one of Homer’s most masterful works.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
A foggy day on the coastal peninsula of Prout's Neck, Maine, inspired Winslow Homer to paint one of his most elegant and contemplative works. His studio and family home stand silhouetted between the darker cliffs in the foreground and the paler sky. The painting's composition balances strong diagonal and horizontal elements in the lower half with a monolithic sky punctuated by a circle of sun.
Homer was known for his many paintings of rural America, as well as his illustrations of the Civil War. In 1883, Homer left New York City, where he had been living, and settled permanently in Prout's Neck. During his years there, he produced some of the most thrilling marine paintings in the history of American art.

Winslow Homer, who became one of America’s major painters, brought the Civil War to the home front with his illustrations in Harper’s Weekly magazine. With this engraving in the July 12, 1862 issue appeared the following commentary about the heroic role the surgeon played in the war:
The “Surgeon at Work” introduces us to the most painful scene on the battle-field. Away in the rear, under the green flag, which is always respected among civilized soldiers, the surgeon and his assistants receive the poor wounded soldiers, and swiftly minister to their needs. Arteries are tied, ligatures and tourniquets applied, flesh wounds hastily dressed, broken limbs set, and sometimes, where haste is essential, amputations performed within sight and sound of the cannon. Of all officers the surgeon is often the one who requires most nerve and most courage. The swaying tide of battle frequently makes him a prisoner, and sometimes brutal soldiers will take a flying shot at him as they pass.

In this painting, Ann Lacey (the mother of Pierrepont and Eliza (78.188 and 78.189)) holds a book in her hand. Her traditional pose suggests that she was a cultured and literate individual.
The portraits of the Lacey family were passed down through the generations in the family home in Scottsville, New York, until 1932, when they were presented on the occasion of a marriage and moved to a new home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1978, the generous owners donated the group of family heirlooms to the Memorial Art Gallery, to be enjoyed by its many visitors.

Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Dunn
in memory of Ruth Hanford Munn
and James Buell Munn, 78.187
Ann Gennett was born in Kirkland, New York, and her family later moved to nearby Chili. Around 1830, she married Allen Tobias Lacey, son of a neighboring farmer and political associate of her father. She was the mother of Pierrepont and Eliza, whose portraits hang nearby.
In the painting, she is shown holding a small book, a popular motif that suggests literacy and a certain level of affluence.
Ann Lacey died of cancer at the age of 32 and she is buried in the Fellows Cemetery in Chili. Shortly thereafter, Allen Lacey remarried, and in 1847, the family moved west to farm in Marshall, Michigan.
{Excerpted from gallery label text, Oct. 2011, Colleen Piccone, Curatorial}
The Lacey family, whose portraits are on view nearby, lived in this home at 9 Scottsville-Chili Road in Scottsville, New York in the 1830s, where it is believed their portraits were painted and first hung. Two children in this 1890s photograph were relatives of the Lacey family. The girl on the far left was Ruth Hanford (Munn), in whose memory the portraits were given to the Memorial Art Gallery.
The paintings were passed down through the generations in this family home until 1932, when they were presented on the occasion of a marriage and moved to a new home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1978, the generous owners donated the group of family heirlooms to the Memorial Art Gallery, to be enjoyed by its many visitors.

Eliza Pixley Lacey (1834 - 1839)
ca. 1835 - 36
Oil on canvas
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Dunn
in memory of Ruth Hanford Munn and
James Buell Munn, 78.188
M.W. Hopkins painted several portraits of young girls holding flower baskets. Eliza was painted when she was about two, and may have been Hopkins’ youngest and most endearing sitter.
Portrait painting was not Hopkins’ sole occupation; he was also a farmer and ornamental painter who decorated carriages and signs.
Eliza was only five when she died. She is buried in Fellows Cemetery in Chili along with her mother, Ann, whose portrait hangs nearby.
{Excerpted from gallery label text, Oct. 2011, Colleen Piccone, Curatorial}
The Lacey family, whose portraits are on view nearby, lived in this home at 9 Scottsville-Chili Road in Scottsville, New York in the 1830s, where it is believed their portraits were painted and first hung. Two children in this 1890s photograph were relatives of the Lacey family. The girl on the far left was Ruth Hanford (Munn), in whose memory the portraits were given to the Memorial Art Gallery.
The paintings were passed down through the generations in this family home until 1932, when they were presented on the occasion of a marriage and moved to a new home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1978, the generous owners donated the group of family heirlooms to the Memorial Art Gallery, to be enjoyed by its many visitors.

Painting
The Lacey family lived and farmed in Scottsville, New York, a small village south of Rochester on the Oatka Creek. Like many families of means, they used the services of a local artist to have their likenesses painted, since photography as we know it did not exist. For many years, this artist was thought to be Noah North, but recent scholarship points to Milton Hopkins, with whom North probably apprenticed. Painting was not Hopkins' sole occupation. As well, he farmed and was a carriage and sign painter, and was involved in anti-Masonic, abolitionist, and temperance politics.
Pierrepont Lacey was born in 1832, and like many little boys, he probably was not comfortable posing for a painting in his best clothes. The family dog, Gun, most likely didn't stand still for long, either, so it may have been quite a challenge for the artist to capture the likenesses of boy and dog. When Pierrepont was fifteen, his family moved to Marshall, Michigan. He grew up, married, and was the father of one son. Milton Hopkins moved to Ohio shortly after this portrait was painted, where he continued to paint portraits and work for the Underground Railroad.
[Gallery label text, 2000]
Like many young boys, Pierrepont Lacey was probably not comfortable posing for a painting dressed in his best suit and red shoes. Gun, the family dog, was most likely a restless subject for the artist to capture, as well.
There are six known portraits by Hopkins showing children dressed in their finest clothes, often accompanied by their dogs. All of the children’s parents were connected to the artist through their activities in anti-Masonic, abolitionist, and temperance politics.
MAG’s nearly full-size portrait is one of the most engaging likenesses done by Hopkins and has become an American folk art icon.

For George Inness, an adherent of the mystical Swedenborgian faith, landscape elements and colors had specific symbolic qualities. For example, he wrote that the moon is a ‘natural emblem of faith,’ reassuring the faithful that divine light still exists even though it is not directly visible in the night sky. In Inness’s philosophical system, blue is the color of faith.

This pastoral scene shows cows wading at a bend in the Genesee River while their herder lounges on the ground at the left. It was painted by David Johnson, an artist from New York City who specialized in Genesee landscapes in the mid-19th century, a time when few artists were making the journey upstate.
The name Genesee originates with the Seneca people, meaning “beautiful or pleasant valley.” The rich soil of the valley and the abundance of the river has made this region a desirable location to live for centuries. This painting was made almost 100 years after the Canandaigua Treaty of 1794, in which the United States of America established the Seneca Nation’s land rights for Western New York with the Genesee River as the eastern boundary, Lake Ontario as the northern boundary, and Niagara River as the western boundary. Many subsequent violations and treaties slowly encroached upon these rights; today only three tracts of land are left to the Seneca in the region, including the Cattaraugus Reservation.

Ada Howe Kent was a Rochester painter and watercolorist who exhibited nationally with the American Water Color Society. Having studied with James McNeill Whistler in Paris, Kent became enamored of oriental art and accumulated an extensive collection of Japanese prints.
A daughter of John H. Kent, first vice-president of the Eastman Dry-plate and Film Company (forerunner of the Eastman Kodak Company), the artist was known for her philanthropic activities, most significantly for the gift of Kent Hall in 1916 to the Rochester Y.W.C.A. as a residence for women.

The Memorial Art Gallery is fortunate to have in its collection both a portrait of Ann Gennett Lacey and an example of her needlework made when she was only ten years old (see row seven of her sampler). She was probably enrolled at a female academy in Riga, west of Rochester, where she was taught these skills.
Following the American Revolution, schools for young women began to flourish, and fine needlework was one of the subjects (as well as music, reading, writing, and arithmetic) included in the curriculum. The stitching of samplers was believed to be a sign of virtue, achievement and industry, stitched more to demonstrate education than to preserve a skill.

Luks, like Glackens, was originally from Philadelphia and moved to New York City in 1896. He was one of The Eight who exhibited together at Macbeth Gallery in 1908, and his painting of a boy with dice reflects his interest in depicting aspects of life in the lower classes. Here, a boy who looks to be no more than ten is smoking, more than likely earning his own living as a shoeshine boy, and supplementing his income by gambling.
The painting, inscribed To Elizabeth, was given by the artist to his student, Elizabeth Olds, who studied with him at the Art Students League in New York City. Elizabeth Olds was an accomplished printmaker and, like her teacher, believed in the importance of art for all people, not just the upper classes.

In the final decades of the nineteenth century, representations of the American Revolution and its heroes were romanticized. Here, Frederick MacMonnies depicts doomed patriot Nathan Hale (1755 – 1776) moments before his execution by the British as punishment for spying. Hale’s ruffled shirt hangs dramatically open, framing and exposing his bare chest and neck, soon to hold the hangman’s noose. With his arms tied back at the elbow, Hale’s hands are left free to gesture as he uttered his famous last words, “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.”

This grand portrait might have been a focal point in Judge and Mrs. Yates’s parlor. Judge Yates built the first steam saw mill in Tioga County, and was justice of the peace and postmaster.
Whether the furnishings, book, and clothing accurately depict the Yates’s possessions is impossible to say. They are meant to convince us of the pair’s position within the local gentry. Yards of satiny fabric held in place by a curtain holdback speak of luxury. Mrs. Yates’s jewelry, lace collar, cuffs and trimmed handkerchief, were the accoutrements of a lady of means. Judge Yates holds a book by English theologian William Paley entitled Natural Theology, a text regularly consulted by well-read gentlemen of the 19th century. While we know very little about Mr. Manchester, the artist, we can safely say that he was familiar with the grand tradition of portraiture that frequently placed subjects within ennobling, but not always authentic, settings.

Orator, lawyer, statesman, and senator Daniel Webster (1782–1852) was the subject of many portraits, but none more charming than this one, informally titled Dan. Information on the back says the painting was copied from an engraving, which was no doubt itself a copy of an 1840s daguerreotype by F. DeBourg Richards.
Chief curator Marjorie Searl has determined that the original attribution to G. K. Merrick is incorrect. Markings on the back of the portrait were misleading; the signature for Merrick, an attorney in Wellsboro, PA, probably indicated ownership. Another inscription, “painted from an engraving by George Deming, Wellsboro, Pennsylvania,” most likely led to the interpretation that Deming was the engraver and Merrick was the painter. Thanks to the internet and Ancestry.com, we can now safely say that Deming was the painter, and we can speculate that Merrick purchased it from him.

In March, 1857, Rubens Peale wrote: “I painted all day on Number 15 and Number 26 as it has been very stormy today, nothing going on out doors…. After this, however, visitors came to stay and part of the house was given over to them.”
What is somewhat surprising is that Peale, a member of the illustrious family of artists and naturalists, did not begin painting until he was seventy-one. Until then, his work had focused on museums and farming. Considering the artist’s limited visual acuity, the texture and color of the fruit and basket in this quiet still life are all the more remarkable.

We take for granted the ability to record our families' faces. Even the likenesses of those long-dead are etched in our memories by their photographs. But before cameras and film, the only way to save a "likeness" was to create a life or death mask, draw or paint a picture, or make a sculpture.
In rural New York State, many portraits were done by painters like Ammi Phillips who had a minimal amount of training. Their customers, in turn, passed paintings down through the generations until all too often, the identity of the sitters was lost.
If we don't know whose portrait this was, and if Ammi Phillips was not an academically trained artist, why do we continue to appreciate this work and keep it in a museum? The directness of human spirit that these paintings convey combined with the intricacy of design and patterning create a work filled with the "visual delight" that we search for in a work of art.
[Gallery label text, 2008]
This woman’s identity has not been preserved, but we might speculate with confidence that she was a devout person, as her arm is placed so firmly on the Bible. Notice, too, how carefully the artist painted the fabric of her day-cap, the embroidery on her shawl, and even the tasseled trim of the curtains.

Painting
The artist of the painting signed the back of the canvas with a flourish “Asahel Powers.” Powers was a self-taught portrait painter who traveled throughout the countryside in search of portrait commissions. Unfortunately, history has lost the name of this dapper gentleman who, we infer by the books and writing cabinet visible behind him, was a learned man of means. His interests and likely profession are further indicated by "The Genesee Farmer" in his hands, a popular journal dedicated to agriculture and horticulture founded in Rochester in 1831.
This portrait broadly tells the story of early Euro-American settlers who were cultivating and living off of the land of the Genesee Valley. It does not capture the story of the Indigenous people who had lived in those lands for hundreds of years prior to the arrival of the European settlers. Coincidentally, this portrait was painted during the infamous Trail of Tears, a brutal upheaval in American history over land rights in which the military forcibly moved over 60,000 Indigenous people (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, Osage, and Seminole, including thousands of their Black slaves) to an undesirable stretch of prairie land, now in Oklahoma. During the forced march, many thousands of men, women, and children suffered and died from exposure, disease, and starvation.

For a fervent abolitionist like artist John Rogers, sympathy for the Southern cause did not come easily. However, an incident in Charleston, South Carolina, inspired him to create the story in plaster. During the Civil War, as the Union army moved in to Confederate territory, citizens were required to take a loyalty oath in order to obtain food rations. Rogers has captured one mother’s conflict as she swears loyalty to the hated Union while keeping a protective hand on her child’s head. The Union soldier who is administering the oath tips his cap, simultaneously the chivalrous gentleman and the enemy. The freed slave looks on with concern and confusion.
Because of the emotional complexity and the poignant feelings evoked by this group, it was considered one of Rogers’ most successful works. Over 80,000 narrative sculptures were sold by the self-taught Rogers from his workshop in New York City to middle-class Americans looking to decorate their parlors with an engaging work of art.

Nydia, the blind heroine of Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s 1834 novel The Last Days of Pompeii, was the subject of over 50 sculptures by Randolph Rogers. He depicted her, a broken column at her feet, as she used her heightened sense of hearing to listen for Glaucus, the nobleman whom she loved, and his fiancée, Ione. Although Nydia led them to safety, in the end she drowned herself because Glaucus could not be hers.
Nineteenth century collectors were fascinated by classical subjects like Pompeii. Many American collectors on the Grand Tour made trips to Italy, where they visited the studios of artists like Rogers and actively commissioned work. At left is a picture of MAG’s Nydia in an earlier collection in the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.W. Chapin, 110 South Fitzhugh Street, Rochester. [Gallery Label, February 6, 2012]

Painting
Home Late is the earliest identified painting by Mortimer Smith. The shadowy interior of the frontier cabin demonstrates his mastery of the genre scene: the rifle hanging from the ceiling side by side with drying meats and vegetables, supper cooking in the kettle suspended in the stone fireplace, and the dog sleeping peacefully by the fire. Smith is equally adept at capturing the warm glow cast by the fire as it contrasts with the cold light of the winter scene beyond the doorway. The child pausing in the doorway heightens the emotional ambiguity of the scene as he surveys the cabin's interior, perhaps to gauge the mood within as he returns home late from skating.
Smith's landscape and genre scenes suggest familiarity with his better-known contemporaries, like Albert Bierstadt and Eastman Johnson. Certainly, early exposure to the work exhibited at the Cosmopolitan Art Association in Sandusky provided Smith with models of painting styles that continued to influence him throughout his life.

Painting
Skaneateles Lake is located in the Finger Lakes region, part of the traditional lands of the nations that make up the Haudenosaunee. The frequent use of Haudenosaunee names in this region—Genesee, Irondequoit, Honeoye, and Canandaigua—is evident in the name of the lake and the town located on the northern tip, Skaneateles, which means “long lake.”
This painting depicts a sculling race from an era, and an area, when travel by boat was more common than today. The two steamboats seen here have flags bearing their names, identifying them as the Echo (on the left) and the Glen Haven, which carried vacationers arriving on trains and carriages at the top of Skaneateles Lake down to the resorts and summer cottages at the southern end. This scull race was widely advertised as part of the Fourth of July festivities on the lake in 1878. The artist shows people cheering from nearby boats as Charles E. Courtney from Union Springs passes by, winning the race by only one minute. The subject of the painting was unknown until it was included in a 1962 exhibition in New York, where a Skaneateles native recognized the scene and wrote a letter to his local paper.

A vision of fresh beauty in her portrait, Anne Mumford Palmer lived a life that was hardly placid. Born to a Rochester lawyer and his wife, Palmer moved to New York City after her father became the treasurer of Western Union. She was a good friend of the distinguished American writer Henry Adams and his wife, Clover.
An adventurous marriage to Englishman E. Nelson Fell included draining swamps in Florida to build a British colony called Fellsmere. Four years were spent with their three children on the Siberian steppes where Nelson Fell supervised a mining operation.
When Anne Mumford Palmer, age 22, was painted by Abbott Thayer, newly returned from studying in France, her life lay ahead of her like a limitless ocean. When she sold the painting to MAG founder Emily Sibley Watson in 1930, she was nearing the end of her remarkable journey, and would die seven years later. More remains to be learned about an interesting life.

Rochester tycoon William Kimball, owner of the Kimball Tobacco Factory, hired Louis Comfort Tiffany to design the interior of his home and its furnishings at 145 Troup Street in Corn Hill. The opulent residence, called Kimball’s Castle, housed an art collection and a pipe organ. The window installed here was rescued by Harold Rand during the building’s unfortunate demolition in 1948.
Our thanks go to Valerie O’Hara from Pike Stained Glass Studio for her generous conservation of the window.

Painting
While we may not know who painted this work, we can trace its inspiration. In 1851 Jasper Cropsey's painting American Harvesting was in the American Art-Union's annual exhibition in New York. The American Art-Union, formed in 1844, promoted American artists by purchasing and exhibiting their works. To familiarize more Americans with these artists, engravings were made and distributed to members. Possibly, one of these engravings was owned by the artist who did the Gallery's painting. Several other versions of this work exist and were most likely inspired by the same print. A version of the this image was printed by Currier & Ives, entitled 'A Summer Landscape: Haymaking."
Cropsey's painting is currently in the collection of the <a href="http://www.artmuseum.iu.edu">Indiana University Art Museum</a>.

Children around the world have played with toy horses for centuries. Egyptian children in the fifth century, Viking children in the eleventh century, and American children today enjoy riding toy horses and pulling them along on wheels.
This horse, with its horsehair tail, glass eyes, and leather seat, originally might have been created to move on a wheeled platform.

The image of Christ on the cross is fundamental to Christian belief and the art that expresses it. The nearby Tramp Art Shrine, made in the northeastern United States, as well as many European works on the second floor of the Gallery, incorporate images similar to this santo made by an unknown santero. Santero is the traditional name for the carver of santos, which are typically figures of Christ or saints.
When European missionaries brought Catholicism across the ocean to the New World, they also brought with them traditional forms of religious iconography and woodcarving techniques. Spanish friars were the original santeros, carving the figures to decorate mission churches; during the 19th century, lay people became santeros, and santos became part of the domestic religious tradition.

Tramp art, originally thought to have been a style of woodworking used by hoboes to make gifts for people who provided them with hospitality, is now understood to encompass a broader group of work by self-taught artisans. Typically using found materials, the creators used a chip or notch carving technique and layering of materials to create optically dazzling patterns and designs.
In this work, an Armour meat packing box was used for the body of the shrine, to which layers of intricately decorated details were added. In the interior are references from the New Testament to the betrayal and death of Jesus, among them the cross, the cock, the ladder and the spear. While we do not know the artist’s name, the degree of his piety communicates itself through his painstaking creation of this personal shrine.

Painting
According to the Christian gospels, Jesus was brought before Caiaphus and his fellow high priests, who rejected Jesus and gave him to Pilate to be crucified. Even today, among contemporary clergy and theologians, there is debate about the historical circumstances of Christ's death.
Benjamin West depicted the traditional narrative in a compressed manner, bringing together elements of the events that were to follow: the crucifix and the instruments of the passion lie in the foreground; Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene anticipate Jesus' suffering with looks of sorrow and horror; Roman soldiers stand by with spears.
The artist was born in pre-Revolutionary Philadelphia, studied in Italy, and settled permanently in England, where he became the second president of the Royal Academy of Arts. He became known for his dramatic historical and religious subjects. West taught the first generation of American artists, including Gilbert Stuart and Matthew Pratt. The finished version of Christ Rejected is monumental, at 16' x 23', and it hangs at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.

Painting
Wiles, an artist from Perry, New York, offers two views of the rolling valleys of the Genesee. Both feature people who seem to be admiring the landscape, as we are invited to do: two women have laid down a rug or blanket on which to picnic, looking out over the rooftops of a barn and other outbuildings; a boy gazes out over the valley while his cows graze nearby. Atmospheric perspective renders the far hills a misty mirage. The artist wrote “Endeavor, as far as possible, to carry the eye beyond the canvas into the subject or scene depicted. Anything short of this detracts from your effort as a work of art. The master conceals his art and fascinates you in the spirit of his work. Therefore, consider your pigments your servants, not your masters. Study good pictures much, but study nature more.”

“Now then for a small piece of vanity—Powers, the sculptor, is taking me in clay, to be wrought in marble in Italy next summer. If he does not get a perfect head, it will be his first failure.”
New York Congressman and Canandaigua resident Francis Granger was one of many prominent American politicians to sit for a classical-style portrait bust by Hiram Powers. Many Grand Tourists made Powers’ sculpture studio in Florence, Italy, a stop on their travels, to witness the artist at work, view his latest creations, or commission a personal artwork.
[Label text from It Came From the Vault exhibition, 2013]
Why do portrait busts often have blank eyeballs? Here’s one theory: originally, many ancient Greek and Roman sculptures were painted, including the eyes, but over the years the paint has faded so that by the 19th century, the eyes appeared to be blank. While 19th century artists often modeled their portrait busts of important political figures on these Classical forms, they did not know that the eyes had been painted originally, so they left them blank. Only with current technology has it been possible to understand how the older sculptures actually appeared.
The subject of this sculpture, Francis Granger (1792 – 1868), was born a decade after the American Revolution and died right after the Civil War. A congressman from nearby Canandaigua when he posed for this sculpture in 1837, he said: “Now then for a small piece of vanity – Powers, the sculptor, is taking me in clay, to be wrought in marble in Italy next summer. If he does not get a perfect head, it will be his first failure.”

The American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, based primarily in London, and Monet were both committed to working from nature and seeking beauty in contemporary environments. They directed their focus increasingly on transient effects of light and weather and revisited their subjects under varying conditions. In particular, both artists shared a fascination with the landmarks and activity along London’s Thames River.
This etchings was a part of Whistler’s A Series of Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects (known as “The Thames Set”). When they were published in 1871, the prints were already recognized as a valuable record of an already vanishing London.

This scene is a commentary on American elections as well as on a specific Election Day in 1850. On that day, in Saline County, Missouri, the artist George Caleb Bingham ran for a place in the State Legislature. E. D. Sappington, the candidate lifting his shiny top hat, was the winner. Sappington, with his workers, tried to buy votes with liquor, and because he was related to the judge and one of the clerks, the election’s outcome aroused suspicion. While Bingham did not contest the results, The County Election makes a powerful statement about his thoughts concerning the corrupt proceedings. The artist represents himself as the figure in the stovepipe hat seated on the courthouse steps, attended by a friendly dog and two men in white hats who pause to look over his shoulder.
John Sartain was a highly successful engraver and publisher. He is well-known for his mezzotints of paintings by some of America’s major artists, including Emanuel Leutze and Thomas Sully. His descendants continued to make important contributions to the world of 19th century American art.

Painting
Thomas Moran was an adventurous landscape painter who traveled far and wide in search of compelling views. He accompanied the first government-sponsored expedition to Yellowstone, shortly before it became a national park, and his drawings and watercolors from that expedition formed the basis for dramatic paintings of western views. In 1886, he journeyed to Venice, where his watercolors captured views of lagoons and picturesque buildings. These sketches formed the basis of immensely popular studio paintings like the one hanging here.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, Venice was a favored Old World destination for many American writers and painters, including Mark Twain, Henry James, and James MacNeill Whistler. However, Moran's work probably had the greatest impact on Americans' awareness of La Serenissima (the most serene), a fond nickname for Venice.

One of James McNeill Whistler’s great patrons was British shipping magnate and art collector, Frederick Leyland (1832-1892) whose wife and four children were the subjects of numerous drawings, prints, and painted portraits by the artist. Much of what is known of Whistler’s relationship with this family is through letters from his mother, who not infrequently tried her best to smoothe over disagreements between her dilatory son and the impatient Leyland.
Whistler’s regular visits to Speke Hall (the Leyland family’s estate near Liverpool, England) brought him into frequent contact with the children, who posed for him many times. Look for the phrase “I am Flo” to the right of the figure of Florence, the youngest, who is holding a hoop – perhaps an inside joke, a reference to the fact that there were three Leyland daughters who may have been regularly confused with each other!

The American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, based primarily in London, and Monet were both committed to working from nature and seeking beauty in contemporary environments. They directed their focus increasingly on transient effects of light and weather and revisited their subjects under varying conditions. In particular, both artists shared a fascination with the landmarks and activity along London’s Thames River.
This etchings was a part of Whistler’s A Series of Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects (known as “The Thames Set”). When they were published in 1871, the prints were already recognized as a valuable record of an already vanishing London.

In 1989, Matthew Broderick starred in the film "Glory," based on the life of the abolitionist Civil War hero Robert Gould Shaw. He led the first northern regiment of African American soldiers, which included the two sons of Frederick Douglass, Lewis and Charles. 25-year-old Shaw and 270 of his men from the 54th Massachusetts regiment died in an attack on Fort Wagner in South Carolina on July 18, 1863. Confederate soldiers buried them in a mass grave, blacks and whites together, which was considered at that time to be an insult to a white officer.
In 1897, a sculpture was dedicated in Boston in memory of these heroic individuals. In the early stages of the memorial's creation, distinguished sculptor August Saint-Gaudens made plaster models of the soldiers' heads. Several of these were later cast in bronze in a very limited edition, from which the Memorial Art Gallery recently acquired two rare examples. (See also 2006.9)

Leonard Wells Volk made this statuette as a model for the over-nine-foot sculpture in his Rochester Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in Washington Square Park. The artist described the sculpture as “heroic in size, some would say colossal.”
Over 100,000 visitors attended the statue’s unveiling on Memorial Day, 1892, including luminaries Frederick Douglass and President Benjamin Harrison.

Louis Aston Knight was born of American parents in Paris, but didn’t visit the United States until 1905, by which time he was already an established painter. Two years later, he married a distant cousin, Caroline Ridgway Brewster of Rochester. Best known for bucolic Normandy landscapes in a style that Thomas Kinkade would appropriate many decades later, this particular view of the rocky French coastline east of Nice is unusual within the artist’s oeuvre in its muted palette and absence of picturesque old dwellings. Knight and his wife took refuge in New York City for the duration of WWI, and he lectured here at MAG in 1918.

Hiram Wesley Dixon, Born circa 1817- died Dec. 1, 1888 (Tarrytown, NY)
Hiram, Angeline and daughter, Sophia Josephine Dixon portraits are not signed or dated. We believe all three were painted by the same artist, Jefferson Gauntt. The Dixon family’s life dates have been obtained through research. Based on these dates we speculate the portraits were painted between 1840 and 1860.
Tombstone, Oct. 2010, Colleen Piccone
The Dixon family lived north of New York City, first in Hudson, NY and then in Tarrytown, NY.
Although painted separately, Mr. and Mrs. Dixon appear to share a couch against a large window through which an elaborate landscape can be seen. Both are dressed in stylish and sophisticated attire. Hiram W. Dixon was the owner of a hardware store in Hudson. In 1856, Mr. Dixon was elected a messenger of the Electoral College to carry the vote to Washington. A newspaper article reported that each year he “predicted the election returns and his selections were as predictable as the Gallup polls.” In 1864, he was a director of The First National Bank of Hudson and in 1866, appointed postmaster of the Hudson post-office.
In 1866, the family became members of the First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in Hudson. Mr. Dixon was also involved in real estate and insurance in Tarrytown where there is a street named for him.

Mary Goodrich Burbank, 1863
Born Dec. 28, 1806 - died July 4, 1888 (Rochester, NY)
The artist, William Cogswell, was born in upstate New York and taught himself portrait painting in the 1830s. He worked as a professional artist in New York City and exhibited at the National Academy and the American Art-Union. His best-known work is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln in the White House Collection. His portraits also include Presidents Grant and McKinley.
The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Burbank were conserved by a Henry Luce Foundation Conservation Grant.
Gallery label, Feb. 2011, Colleen Piccone
The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Burbank provide an unparalleled way of standing ‘face to face’ with early generations of Americans – those people who lived before Kodak gave us the snapshot.
Gideon Webster Burbank was educated in New York City and established a dry goods business in Kendall, NY in 1824. The following year he married Mary Goodrich and she bore eleven children. In 1839, after the Erie Canal was completed, Mr. Burbank started a career in Rochester as a manufacturer of flour at the Frankfort Mills. His mill sent barrels of flour to London as Rochester’s exhibit in the first World’s Fair in 1851. In the late 1850s, he designed and operated the steamer “Fulton” which made trips between Rochester and Buffalo on the Erie Canal. In 1869, he became a partner in the firm of Richardson, Burbank & Company, owners of the New York Flour Mills. He also served as president and director of several banks, and as a trustee of the First Baptist church.
Mr. Burbank was one of the earliest and most generous supporters of the University of Rochester and served on its Board of Trustees for nineteen years. In 1854, when the University was just four years old, he established the “Gideon Webster Burbank Professorship of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy.” His gift of $20,000 was, until that point, the largest single donation and helped inspire confidence in the long-term success of the University. He later suffered great financial loss, but remained proud of his connection to the University, saying “That I have saved.”
The Burbank family plot is located in Mt. Hope Cemetery.

Helen Searle grew up in Rochester and taught art in Batavia, New York. In 1860, she moved to Dusseldorf to study with the distinguished painter Johan Wilhelm Preyer, whose still lifes were considered the finest in Germany (see below). He took a particular interest in Searle, and it is clear that she was greatly influenced by him. Preyer, in turn, was a devoté of 17th century Dutch artist Jan de Heem, whose work is on view on MAG’s second floor.

Painting
In ancient times, the laurel wreath connoted victory. A wreathed skull, however, came to symbolize the transience of fame and glory and was referred to as a memento mori (“remember you will die”). A painting that included this type of imagery is called a vanitas.
Beckwith was widely known for lush portraits of women and light-filled landscapes. It’s interesting to speculate about the circumstances that compelled him to paint such a somber picture. Written on the back of the painting is this phrase, which is, perhaps, a clue: Gathered this laurel in the “Boboli Gardens” Florence spring of 1878 – Painted in Paris summer of 1878. Carroll Beckwith April 20 – 1915.

Painting
The 1839 Pitkin House, just a few blocks away from MAG at 474 East Avenue, was one of the first mansions built in the area. The rutted dirt of the street contrasts with the elegant brick edifice of the house, but wooden braces along the road supporting newly-planted trees reveal that East Avenue was being gentrified. William Pitkin, who selected the lot and had the house built, was at first a druggist, but went on to become a banker, an alderman, a University of Rochester trustee, and the mayor of Rochester in 1844-45. Later, another well-known Rochester entrepreneur, Daniel Powers, lived in the house. He opened the first public art gallery in the city in his grand Powers Building at the Four Corners.
This painting was made by Rochester artist Charles Willson during Powers’ tenure in the house. At a time when paintings of houses were used to demonstrate the wealth and good taste of the homeowners, Willson was clever enough to depict the house from an angle that shows the deep lot and additions at the back, something that would not have been seen if he’d painted the house from the front.

As the owner of a hardware store, Hiram W. Dixon, in conjunction with the Farmers Bank in Hudson, New York, issued this note valued for 50 cents as a substitute for currency. Known as merchant scrip, this was a form of credit or a means of exchange. Hiram W. Dixon issued scrip for 5 cents, 10 cents, and 25 cents as well as two different types of 50-cents scrip. The padlock in the center of the note was an appropriate symbol for Hiram W. Dixon’s hardware business.
The inflation associated with the Civil War led to a dramatic increase in the prices of precious metals, causing coins to disappear from circulation which resulted in hoarding. Merchants, farmers, and community groups, in conjunction with the banks, substituted their own private scrip as a convenience and a necessity. The notes were used in good faith as a means of payment for small purchases when currency was unavailable.

Drawing
Sometimes, complete mysteries present themselves at MAG. How did a drawing by Walter Rauschenbusch, a giant among theologians in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, come to MAG? No paperwork exists to tell us the story.
Drawings like these, incorrectly called “sandpaper drawings,” were done as art exercises in the 19th century. Usually, the student was given the task of copying a popular print onto specially prepared board. Perhaps Rauschenbusch, who grew up in Rochester, went to a school that taught this technique. Perhaps he kept the drawing with him throughout his life; his signature is on the back, along with the word “Lent.” Perhaps, when he died, the drawing was put out with unwanted papers, or it may have been passed along to a family member, a neighbor, or a friend. At some point, the drawing was brought to MAG, but the trail, such as it is, ends there. And perhaps a visitor to our exhibition will be able to shed some light on this mystery!

This landscape is one of several works that were the result of a trip Thomas and Mary Moran made to Scotland in 1882. It shows the Bridge of Three Waters, near the site where members of the MacDonald clan were massacred by solders from a Campbell regiment in 1692.

Downingtown
Lithograph
Bequest of Isabel C. Herdle, 2005.41
Walter Cassebeer was one of the founding members of the Print Club of Rochester, which recently celebrated its 80th anniversary. He is best known as an architect and designed several churches in and around Rochester, as well as some of the landscapes of Durand- Eastman Park. Much of his artwork featured buildings; his numerous lithographs of Rochester’s skyline show how the city changed and grew throughout his life.
This covered bridge is located in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Note the inscription to the second Memorial Art Gallery director: “To Miss Gertrude Herdle with much affection and appreciation.”
