George Henry Durrie, 1858 - Red School House (Country Scene) - fine art print

Artwork description as provided from The Metropolitan Museum of Art website (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Based in New Haven, Connecticut, Durrie traveled throughout the state, painting scenes of rural life. He was noted for his winter landscapes, which idealize the harsh season and effectively capture the visual effects of snow and ice. The New York lithographic firm Currier and Ives chose a number of his scenes for reproduction and distribution. In this nostalgic work, Durrie depicted a one-room schoolhouse with a blanket of unmelted snow on its roof, surrounded by children at play.
