Sanford Robinson Gifford
American painter
born 1823 - died 1880
Student of: John Rubens Smith (1775-1849).
Friend of: Thomas Worthington Whittredge (1820-1910).
Sanford Gifford was one of the outstanding members of the 19th-century
landscape movement in American art. Following on the heels of the early
Hudson River painters, Thomas Doughty, Asher B. Durand, and Thomas Cole,
a second-generation of painters including Gifford, John Kensett, and
Martin Johnson Heade developed their styles into a landscape of mood and
serenity, now known as luminism.
Gifford was born in Greenfield, Saratoga County, New York, the son of a
wealthy industrialist. Gifford grew up in Hudson, New York, across the
river from the Catskill home of his idol, Thomas Cole. The painter
attended Brown University for two years but, soon after leaving the
school, decided to devote his full attention to art.
