Description:
|
Like most American artists of his day, Hall went to Europe to complete his professional training. After studying in Germany at the Düsseldorf Academy, noted for its emphasis on careful draftsmanship and exacting finish, he traveled to Italy, where he recorded his impressions of the landscape in this large sketchbook. On the page displayed here, Hall created a picturesque composition in which a tree on the foreground bank of Lake Nemi frames a distant view of the village on the opposite shore.
