Serene landscape by William Henry Chandler depicting a river winding through a pine forest toward distant mountains, with a small tent introducing a subtle human presence within the expansive wilderness. Executed in soft, atmospheric tones, the work reflects Chandler’s refined handling of light and space, and his Romantic vision of the American landscape; the influence of the Hudson River School is apparent. A compelling example of the artist’s mature scenic views, in a period-style frame.

William Henry Chandler (1854-1928) was an American landscape painter known for atmospheric views of New England scenery. Influenced by the Hudson River Valley School and then later tonalism, his work emphasizes light, mood, and an idealized version of the American landscape.
