 Asher Brown Durand
(1796 - 1886)

Asher Brown Durand was an American painter of the Hudson River School. Durand's main interest changed from engraving to oil painting about 1830 with the encouragement of his patron, Luman Reed. In 1837, he accompanied his friend Thomas Cole on a sketching expedition to Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks Mountains, and soon after he began to concentrate on landscape painting.
