Chauncey Foster Ryder (American 1868-1948) A View of Mount Mansfield from Stowe Hollow oil on board signed lower right, identified reverse. 12 x 16" 18.5 x 22.5" as framed. Ryder was a dedicated landscapist, often labeled a Tonalist because of his atmospheric effects. One contemporary critic praised his expansive aesthetic by noting that “Ryder paints with a freedom and a facility which is not deterred by quibbling details. He is always lyrical and poetic in his approach, and often achieved a certain luminous quality . . . transforming a whole scene into something of other-worldly loveliness.” Because he tended to generalize details, it is difficult to pinpoint the precise locations represented in his paintings. Indicative of his lack of concern for specificity, he once said: “I paint by feeling.”
