Status
Not on viewThis vernacular rendering of Cropsey's American Harvesting (painted in 1851) celebrates the harmonious inhabited landscape, with the farm as a nucleus of natural splendor. From the remnants of forested wilderness in the foreground, to the town, river, and mountains in the distance, the scene presents an idyllic balance between untamed nature and the artifice of civilization.
