Available for sale is this original oil landscape painting by renowned New York tonalist painter John Francis Murphy (1853-1921). Murphy, born Oswego, New York in 1853, was often referred to as the "American Corot" because of his similarity to the painting style of Camille Corot (one of the original Barbizon painters in France). Murphy, most known for his subtle landscapes, has been compared to George Inness, Alexander Wyant and Homer Martin. A leading tonalist in the American Barbizon School, Murphy was largely self-taught, first exhibiting his work at the National Academy of Design in New York City in 1876. Murphy won a number of awards for his work and became a full member of the National Academy in 1887 and his work can currently be viewed at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Gallery of Art as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This oil on board landscape measure 10.25" x 6.75" It has recently been professionally cleaned and there has been very minor professional restorations to the left upper edge. The painting is accompanied by an attractive (though not original) gilded frame measuring 10.5" x 14"(see photo). This stunning little painting, signed "J.F. Murphy" in the lower left corner, evokes the pastoral beauty of rural New York with fiery autumnal colors practically lighting up the scene. This is a fine example of atmospheric tonalism and would make a great addition to any collection of important American paintings!
