Gustave Loiseau was a French artist known for his landscapes and scenes of the Parisian streets.
In 1890, Gustave Loiseau first travelled to Pont-Aven in Brittany, where he met Paul Gauguin and Emile Bernard. Having experimented with pointillism, he adopted his own approach to post-impressionism, painting landscapes directly from life. His technique, known as en treillis or cross-hatching, gave his works a special quality.
Gustave Loiseau's paintings, which reveal his passion for the seasons from the early spring to the late autumn harvest, often depict the same garden or garden scene over time. Series of this kind, which also include cliffs, harbours or churches, are reminiscent of Claude Monet.
Thomas Moran was an American painter and printmaker of the Hudson River School in New York whose work often featured the Rocky Mountains. Moran and his family, wife Mary Nimmo Moran and daughter Ruth took residence in New York where he obtained work as an artist. He was a younger brother of the noted marine artist Edward Moran, with whom he shared a studio. A talented illustrator and exquisite colorist, Thomas Moran was hired as an illustrator at Scribner's Monthly. During the late 1860s, he was appointed the chief illustrator for the magazine, a position that helped him launch his career as one of the premier painters of the American landscape, in particular, the American West.
Moran along with Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Hill, and William Keith are sometimes referred to as belonging to the Rocky Mountain School of landscape painters because of all of the Western landscapes made by this group.
