EDITORS COMMENTS
John Hill's 'Lynnhaven Bay, plate one of the second number of Picturesque Views of American Scenery,' created between 1819 and 1821, captures the breathtaking beauty of Lynnhaven Bay in Virginia, part of the Chesapeake Bay in the United States. This exquisite aquatint with etching and hand coloring on cream wove paper showcases the natural splendor of the American landscape during the nineteenth century. The image depicts the tranquil bay at dusk, with the sun setting behind a line of trees and casting a warm glow over the water. The clouds in the sky, a combination of soft pinks, oranges, and purples, add a sense of serenity and calm to the scene. The bay is dotted with small boats and ships, adding a sense of activity to the otherwise still image. The trees along the shoreline are in various stages of autumn, their leaves a vibrant mix of reds, yellows, and oranges. The artist, John Hill, masterfully captures the subtle details of the scene, from the texture of the water to the intricate patterns of the tree bark. This print is a testament to the natural beauty of the United States during the nineteenth century and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, art, or nature. It can be found in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors.
