Bucks County Landscape
Walter Emerson Baumby 1946
Reading Public Museum
Reading, United States
One of the few Pennsylvania impressionists to actually be born in Bucks County, Walter Baum studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Among his earliest teachers were Thomas Anshutz, Hugh Breckenridge, and William Merritt Chase.
This winter scene is typical of his work, with confident brushwork and suggestion of atmospheric effects. The snow-blanketed village is Sellersville, Pennsylvania, located in northern Bucks County. Like Redfield, winter was the season he favored most in his compositions.
