Landscape with Cattle 1872 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | This quiet idyll is typical of the post-Civil War paintings of James Hart. A herd of cattle, trailing into the distance at the left, leads the viewer's eye from the foreground back to the rural village in the distance in a lyric style and nostalgic sensibility that evoke the approaches of the French Barbizon painters of mid-century. | GA | Anonymous | |
Marine and Cattle 1884 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | This composition by James M. Hart illustrates how the artist's pastoral art developed during his later career. The paintings soft, tonal brushwork and expansive space almost diametrically oppose the crisp specificity of his early work. | GA | Anonymous | |
Under the Elms 1872 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | Under the Elms is characteristic of Hart's work after the Civil War. Where he favored larger-scale depictions of unexplored wilderness in his earlier work, his later paintings are often more tranquil and refined. | GA | Anonymous | |
