Lancaster New Hampshire Farmland 1867

David Johnson's "Lancaster New Hampshire Farmland" (1867) is a tranquil landscape painting that showcases the beauty of the American countryside. The painting captures a serene moment, with a meandering river flowing through a field bordered by trees and a fence. Johnson's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the lush vegetation, the gentle curve of the river, and the fluffy clouds drifting across the blue sky. This painting exemplifies the Hudson River School style, popular in the 19th century, which emphasized the sublime beauty of nature and its connection to the divine.
