PAINTING: Sublime American Landscapes, William Troost Richards

Another focused web-searching discovery:  an 19th century painter that to my mind, makes the most beautiful coastline paintings I've ever seen.  Technically superior mastery of luminous effects of light in air and water.  And a pure vision of the iconic strife and union of ocean and land and its powerful symbolism. Lyric painted poetry.
