Evening Autumn
Tryon was a New England artist working in the Tonalist style in the late 19th to early 20th century. He received the majority of his artistic training in France from 1876 to 1881, studying with artists of the Barbizon school, most notably Charles-François Daubigny. He subsequently set up studios in New York City and South Dartmouth, MA, and taught at Smith College in Northampton, MA, for 40 years. This serene landscape by Tryon dates to a time the artist noted as particularly successful for him. He described the summer of 1916 in a letter to collector and industrialist Charles Lang Freer as “a record-breaker for beauty” in New England, and his work from those months as the most “vibrant painting and translucent as stained glass.”
