Charles W. Knapp
Dipinse paesaggi sereni
Charles Wilson Knapp era un rinomato artista paesaggista di grande abilità. Nacque a Filadelfia nel 1823 e trascorse la maggior parte della sua vita in quella città. Lavorò principalmente in Pennsylvania, nello stato di New York, nel New Jersey, nella valle del fiume Susquehanna, nell'area intorno al Delaware Water Gap e nelle montagne Berkshire. 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.
