Bannister, Edward Mitchell - The Farm Landing art print
An archival premium Quality art Print of The Farm Landing painted by American Artist Edward Mitchell Bannister in 1892 for sale by Brandywine General Store. The scene is unidentified by could be in Rhode Island where the artist and his wife, a Narragansett Indian from RI, settled in 1870. Mrs. Bannister operated a very successful beauty salon in later years and made enough money to allow Bannister to devote his time to his art. Farm Landing shows the shore of a pond or lake, since the carefully depicted water lilies are not river plants. Beyond the quiet glow of the water and the green of the lily pads and water grasses is the dock. The red-brown boat anchors the picture and points the eye to the path leading up the sloping meadow to a dense woods. At the small, bright green tree one can imagine the path turning to the left toward a house just glimpsed at the edge of the woods. Famous Artists art print #233
