EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sunset on the Sea, 1872" by John Frederick Kensett takes us back to a serene moment in time. The oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 71.1x104.5 cm, is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The painting showcases Kensett's remarkable talent as a member of the Hudson River School and exemplifies his signature luminist style. As twilight descends upon the scene, we are transported to the rugged coastline of New England where land meets sea. The artist skillfully captures the ethereal beauty of a fading sun sinking below the horizon, casting warm hues across an expansive seascape. The tranquil waters reflect this celestial spectacle with gentle ripples that seem to dance under its radiant glow. It is worth noting that this particular artwork was discovered among Kensett's belongings after his passing in December 1872. Known as "The Last Summer's Work" it serves as a poignant reminder of his artistic legacy and connection to Darien, Connecticut. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we can't help but be drawn into its peaceful ambiance and marvel at nature's grandeur captured through paintbrush strokes. This timeless depiction invites us to pause and appreciate the fleeting beauty found within our natural surroundings – a testament to both Kensett's artistry and Mother Nature herself.
