Charles W. Knapp
Malte ruhige US-Landschaften
Charles Wilson Knapp war ein angesehener Landschaftskünstler von großer Begabung. Er wurde 1823 in Philadelphia geboren und verbrachte den Großteil seines Lebens in dieser Stadt. Er arbeitete hauptsächlich in Pennsylvania, im Bundesstaat New York, in New Jersey, im Tal des Susquehanna River, im Gebiet um die Delaware Water Gap und in den Berkshire Mountains. He especially enjoyed painting the hills and rocky valleys of the Susquehanna River area, a favorite region for generations of artists prior to Knapp and his contemporaries. While the area was becoming increasingly urbanized, Knapp was one of several artists who continued to set forth on canvas the serenity and calm of the place which had initially drawn them there. These landscapes were exhibited at the National Academy of Design soon after they were completed.
