William Trost Richards--Early Spring, Germantown, 1875
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
"William Trost Richards is regarded today as one of our finest landscape and marine painters of the 19th century...
"Richards was a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the 1850s he studied intermittently with the German-born landscape painter Paul Weber, and greatly admired the landscapes of Thomas Cole and Frederic Edwin Church. In the 1860s, Richards came under the influence of the British writer and aesthetician John Ruskin, and the English Pre-Raphaelites. During this decade he began working in watercolor, and his enthusiasm for the medium blossomed in the 1870s when he began to devote his primary attention to marine painting. Over the course of his career Richards was an inveterate traveler in America and Europe. In the 1850s and 1860s, he journeyed throughout the northeast in search of subjects for his brush. In 1874, he spent his first summer working in Newport, Rhode Island. In 1890 he settled permanently in the state, where for most of the decade he resided in a grand house across from Newport, on the southern tip of Conanicut Island, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. In the late 1870s Richards began traveling to Europe in quest of discovering dramatic coastal scenery. Over the next twenty-five years he nvestigated the shorelines of Great Britain, France and Norway, among other places. At the end of his life Richards rededicated himself to landscape painting, and began making summer trips to the Adirondacks, the site of some of his most important early achievements."
