fitz henry lane (1804 - 1865)
Fitz Henry Lane (born Nathaniel Rogers Lane) was an American painter and printmaker of a style that would later be called Luminism, for its use of pervasive light.
A contemporary of the Hudson River School, he enjoyed a reputation as America's premier painter of marine subjects during his lifetime, but fell into obscurity soon after his death with the rise of French Impressionism. Lane's work would be rediscovered in the 1930s by the art collector Maxim Karolik, after which his art steadily grew in popularity among private collectors and public institutions. His work can now command at auction prices ranging as high as three to five million dollars.
