EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, titled "The Falls and town of Saint Anthony" by Henry Lewis (1819-1904), captures the breathtaking beauty and vibrant energy of the Upper Mississippi River town of Saint Anthony in the mid-19th century. Painted in 1847, the work showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the rich colors and textures of the natural landscape, as well as the bustling activity of the town and its people. Lewis, an American artist, traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe during his career, and this painting is a testament to his ability to convey the unique character of each place he visited. The falls in the foreground are depicted with impressive detail, their powerful force creating a sense of movement and energy that draws the viewer's eye. The town of Saint Anthony, nestled at the base of the falls, is bustling with activity. People can be seen going about their daily business, from fishing and farming to trading and socializing. The painting is now housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Art in Madrid, Spain, a testament to its enduring value as a work of art. The horizontal composition and rich color palette add to the sense of depth and immersion, transporting the viewer to the banks of the Mississippi River over 170 years ago.
