About Edward Willis Redfield

Edward Willis Redfield (1869–1965) was an American Impressionist landscape painter and a central figure of the New Hope art colony in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Active from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth, Redfield became recognized for vigorous, broadly brushed plein air canvases that captured the rural scenery around New Hope, especially its snow-covered winter landscapes. He spent summers painting along the Maine coast, particularly at Boothbay Harbor and on Monhegan Island, producing luminous maritime subjects alongside his signature winter scenes. His career is documented in major reference works including Bénézit and Baigell's Dictionary of American Art, and a dedicated monograph by Constance Kimmerle was published in 2004. Redfield's work is held in institutional collections and appears regularly at auction.

Common works and media

Redfield worked almost exclusively in oil on canvas, producing landscape compositions en plein air. His most commonly encountered works include large-scale snow scenes of the Pennsylvania countryside, panoramic views of the Delaware River valley, coastal scenes of Boothbay Harbor and Monhegan Island in Maine, and spring and autumn landscape views of Bucks County. Smaller easel paintings and occasional floral still lifes also appear on the market.

Market and appraisal context

Redfield's paintings appear frequently in American art sales at major and regional auction houses. Winter landscapes of the Delaware Valley and New Hope area tend to attract the strongest collector interest, though his Maine coastal subjects also perform well. Valuation depends on size, condition, subject, provenance, and whether the work can be linked to his best-known New Hope or Maine periods. The 2004 Kimmerle catalogue provides a reference for attribution questions. Collectors should note that Redfield was prolific over a long career, and quality and dimensions vary considerably across his output.
