Description: A nicely detailed Hudson River landscape painting by American artist Alfred Ordway (1819-1897). Ordway was born in Lowell, MA, studied portraiture with George Peter Alexander Healy (1813-1894), but his specialty seems to be landscapes of the New England area — he was one of the noted White Mountain School painters of the nineteenth century. Landscapes, farms, churches, coastal scenes, rivers, and cattle in pastures are typical of his oeuvre. Ordway opened a studio in Boston on Tremont Row in 1845, and, in 1854, with his friend Benjamin Champney, became a founding member of the Boston Art Club; he would later serve as its secretary, treasurer and president between 1855 and 1866. He was very instrumental in coordinating the BAC's annual exhibitions with the Boston Athenaeum, where he exhibited between 1855 and 1864. Ordway's work is represented in the collections of the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, MA; Colby College in Waterville, ME; the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston, MA; and the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, ME.Oil on board, signed lower right, and housed in a molded period giltwood frame.
