Fitz Hugh Lane
Fitz Hugh Lane (1804 - 1865), was an American painter and printmaker
of a style that would later be called Luminism, for its use of pervasive light.
A contemporary of the Hudson River School, he enjoyed a reputation as America's premier
painter of marine subjects during his lifetime, but fell into obscurity soon after his death
with the rise of French Impressionism.
Lane's work would be rediscovered in the 1930's by the great art collector Maxim Karolik,
after which his art steadily grew in popularity among private collectors and public institutions.
His work can now command at auction prices ranging as high as three to five million dollars.
