Description:

Benjamin Champney (1817-1907) was a central figure in the White Mountain School of landscape art. One of his paintings of Mount Washington helped establish a standard for representation of the White Mountains that lasted for over thirty years. Champney and his friend, John F. Kensett, worked during a period of nationalist fervor and filled their works with emblems of an optimistic and expanding nation. Champney remained active through the later decades of the 19th century, but new artistic ideas and the social and technical changes occurring in the region and the country usurped the force of his images of the White Mountains.
