Attributed to Samuel Colman, American, 1832 to 1920, oil painting on canvas depicting a mountain river landscape. Signed lower right. Framed. Samuel Colman is known for Landscape, animal, genre and botanical painting. A significant landscape painter of the second generation of Hudson River School painters, Samuel Colman traveled widely and eventually went far beyond the Hudson River for subject matter. He created many large canvases of European, United States, Canadian, and Mexican subjects, especially scenes along the Hudson River and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He also traveled to North Africa in the 1870s, and one of his most impressive works, The Moorish Mosque of Sidi Halou, Tlemcen, Algeria 1875 is in the Edna Barnes Solomon collection of the New York Public Library. He was a full member of the National Academy of Design and lived long enough to see attention to his work eclipsed by that given to modernism. He was a key person in establishing watercolor as an independent medium that was good for more than just sketching. One of a kind artwork.
