Farmington 1843

Samuel Colman's 1843 landscape painting, "Farmington," depicts a serene scene of trees clustered in a field. Executed in a monochromatic palette, the work highlights the subtle nuances of light and shadow playing across the foliage and the grassy terrain. The expansive vista evokes a sense of peaceful solitude, characteristic of the Hudson River School style, of which Colman was a prominent member. The painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Colman's mastery of depicting natural landscapes with meticulous detail and poetic sensibility.
