Haystacks on the Newburyport Marshes (1862) by Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904). Unlike the artists associated with the Hudson River school of American landscape painting, Heade was fascinated with the momentary as opposed to the eternal, often painting from nature in an attempt to capture the ever-changing conditions of light and atmosphere. In this sense, he anticipated the preoccupations of the impressionists. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/haystacks-on-the-newburyport-marshes-1862-martin-johnson-heade-1819-1904.html #art #ArtHistory #Massachusetts #vintage #landscape
