Artist: Thomas Doughty - Title: Delaware Water Gap - Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 23.25 inches x 32 inches - Framed: Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Doughty was largely self-trained, and he relied heavily on copying European landscapes which he saw in collections such as that of his early patron Robert Gilmor, Jr., of Baltimore. From these he learned the established conventions of Continental landscape painting, which he then applied to American scenes. He made sketching trips to record details for his paintings, which came to be much admired for their comparative realism and truth to nature. Doughty was thus one of the founders of the native American landscape school, and his works from the 1820s recorded the beauties of the scenery of the eastern United States.
