WILLIAM TROST RICHARDS American, 1883-1905 Near the West Cove, Conanicut Island". Signed and dated lower right "Wm.T. Richards 1887". Titled on label verso. William Trost Richards is regarded by many scholars and collectors as the finest 19th century American seascape painter. A true innovator in the genre, Richard's seascapes combine aspects of the Hudson River School's strict adherence to nature, with dramatic effect borrowed from the Pre-Raphaelites. While his subjects ranged from the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the British seaside, it is his Rhode Island coastal scenes that are the most iconic. Conanicut Island is the second largest island in Narragansett Bay. To the east, it is connected to Newport, Rhode Island on Aquidneck Island by the Claiborne Pell Bridge, commonly known as the Newport Bridge. To the west, it is connected to North Kingstown, Rhode Island on the mainland by the Jamestown-Verrazano Bridge. The island comprises the town of Jamestown, Rhode Island.
