Edmund Darch Lewis

1835-1910

American

Born in Philadelphia to a well-to-do family, the prolific nineteenth-century Hudson River School painter Edmund Darch Lewis is known for his luminous landscapes and marine views that span such quintessentially American destinations as the Catskills, the Adirondacks of New York, the Green Mountains of Vermont, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and the shores of Maine, Rhode Island, and New Jersey.

Lewis travelled very little outside of the United States, although his sketchbooks reveal that he made at least one trip to the West Indies that provided much inspiration for a number of works that ably capture the subtle atmospheric effects of light and the rich flora and terrain of the tropics.
