Lot description
Oil on canvas. 13 x 23 in. Characteristic of Breevort’s Hudson River School-influenced work, Summer Landscape features the flowingly-beautiful elements of a rural landscape on a summer’s day. Many of Breevort’s best-known features in his scenes are present in this painting: fields, far-away hills, livestock, and a body of water. Breevort’s skill is evident in the detailing of diverse textures, from the dry grass to the reflective pond, and he expertly communicates the slow-paced tranquility of country life. This painting was most likely made before 1873, as following his stay in Europe, Breevort’s style recognizably shifted away from the Hudson River School style and embraced a palette with deeper tonality and contrast. The painting is in good condition with lively colors.
