Hudson River School style landscapist and genre painter James Crawford Thom was born in New York City in 1835, though he grew up on a farm just north of the City in Ramapo, New York.  He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City as an eighteen-year-old before going to Paris, where he studied with Camille Corot, Thomas Couture and Henri Picou.  He also studied with Pierre Edouard Frere whose paintings of children and peasants in the countryside seem to have influenced Thom, known for his pictures of children out-of-doors. A seven-year interlude in London, 1866-1873, led to exhibitions and increasing awareness of his work there, and in the latter year to exhibitions in America that encouraged the artist and his family to return to New York City.  They later moved to Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, where the artist died of pneumonia in 1898.In 1983, nearly one-hundred years after his death, an exhibition of James Crawford Thom's work was held in East Brunswick, New Jersey.  His paintings may be seen in the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.Source: David Michael Zellman, Three Hundred Years of American Art All items are guaranteed for your satisfaction.  No sales are final until you have received your merchandise for inspection.  You may return the purchased item for any reason if you are not satisfied.  After all you are purchasing an item without visually inspecting it.  I try to describe the item as best as possible, including condition.  But I am not perfect and may miss something that was not in the description.  So if there are any problems please do not hesitate to contact me.   Shipping rates are not indicated because I calculate the actual shipping rate to your zip code and do not charge any additional fees.  I only post positive feedback when I ship the item.  If I have nothing pleasant to say about someone, I will not say anything at all.  So please feel free to bid on my auctions and contact me with any concerns or questions.  Thank you!  George “Novaqain” J     Place a Bid!
