Albert Bierstadt
Autumn Woods
Autumn Woods communicates a mood of quiet melancholy unusual for Bierstadt, and it is hard to resist the speculation that this oil painting of 1886 (in the New-York Historical Society, New York City) reflect the artist's reaction to growing older as well as to suffering professional setbacks and the loss by fire of his country estate, Malkasten, in Irvington, New York.
