John Ferguson Weir
exuberant brushwork
and brilliant colors artfully infused
with the light one would expect from
a Hudson River School painter.
Weir's affinity for the Highlands
is combined with a poet's
romantic sense of nature.This find rendering calls to mind
two other works by Weir (1841-1926),View of the Hudson Highland
From West Point
and Figure Overlooking West Point.
It's plausable that Weir may
have painted the three scenesas a series or ensemble.
The proposed idea
has been understandably mentioned
in connection with the iconic site in
all three paintings.
