Collection: William Mason Brown

Brown’s landscapes reflect the influence of the Hudson River School, particularly in their luminous skies, intricate foliage, and masterful use of light. His works often depict expansive, untouched wilderness scenes, evoking a sense of harmony between nature and humanity. Later in his career, he shifted towards still-life painting, a genre in which he excelled, producing vibrantly detailed compositions of fruit and flowers that exude both realism and an almost romantic idealism. His still-life works, with their rich textures and lifelike qualities, became highly sought after by collectors and cemented his reputation as a master of the genre.
