John Frederick Kensett

John Frederick Kensett was born on March 22, 1816, in Cheshire, Connecticut, the son of Thomas Kensett, an English engraver who had immigrated to America, and Elizabeth Daggett, a New Englander. By 1828, Kensett had begun studying engraving and drawing in his father's firm in New Haven and in 1829 he worked briefly for the engraver Peter Maverick in New York. Earning his living as an engraver during the 1830s, Kensett also began to experiment with landscape painting, encouraged by his friend John Casilear (1811-1893). In 1838 he exhibited a work entitled Landscape at the National Academy of Design in New York and by 1840 he had decided to become a full-time painter. In that year he sailed for Europe with fellow artists Casilear, Asher B. Durand (1796-1886), and Thomas P. Rossiter (1818-1871). After an extended stay in Europe, with visits to London, Paris, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, Kensett returned to New York in 1847. He rapidly established a name as a landscape painter and was elected an Associate of the National Academy in 1848. In 1849 he was named a full member of the Academy and was also elected to membership in the prestigious Century Club, which brought him into contact with numerous leading artistic and literary figures of the day.

John Frederick Kensett (1816-1872, American) Among the Hudson River School artists, John Frederick Kensett is the acknowledged master of the mode termed “luminism” in American landscape painting.

美國風景畫家和雕刻家，在哈德遜河畫派的藝術家中，他是公認的美國風景畫“發光主義”模式的大師。 其風景畫主要取材自新英格蘭和紐約州。 其早期作品受哈德遜河派創始人托馬斯·科爾影響較大，但風格較為保守，並不像科爾那樣使用熱烈的色彩，也不常以地貌之奇取勝。 其成熟時期的作品色彩淡雅，主要描繪平靜的海岬及水面。
