Appleton and Company, 1887-1889 was the "most-quoted" biographical source for 19th and early 20th America. Appleton's, due to its age, reflects the bias and prejudice of late 19th Century America. It is also estimated that 100 to 200 of the 35,000 biographies are entirely fictitious. Additionally, the OCR technology used to transfer the text to the web was, at best, only a 99% accurate.

AMAM Home Collection John Frederick Kensett John Frederick Kensett American Cheshire, Connecticut 1816 - 1872 New York Mt. Mansfield from Malletts Bay, Lake Champlain ca. 1860 Oil on canvas 9 3/8 x 18 1/4 in. (23.8 x 46.5 cm) Gift of John G. D. Paul, 1955 Biography Provenance Exhibitions Literature ... Large Image Mt. Mansfield from Malletts Bay, Lake Champlain embodies the mature style of John F. Kensett, and is a superb example of that branch of Hudson River school painting now commonly called luminism The strong horizontality, asymmetrical composition, and extreme simplification of forms, together with the artist's precise draughtsmanship, refined palette, and subtle modulation of tonal values, create a tranquil and evocative view, in which water, sky, and light itself are the main protagonists. Despite its title, Kensett's painting focuses on the watery expanses of Malletts Bay, just north of Burlington, rather than on Mt. Mansfield. Vermont's loftiest peak, Mt. Mansfield is located about thirty miles due east of the bay. It has been a major tourist attraction since the 1850s, and a frequent subject for artists, such as Jerome B. Thompson (1814-1886), Charles L. Heyde, Aaron D. Shattuck , and Sanford R. Gifford (1823-1880), who painted near views of the mountain and its slopes, often adding trail guides, campers, and other signs of civilization.

15. Walker Art Center : The Shock Of The View : John Frederick Kensett A critique of kensett's painting Mount Washington from the Valley of Conway. http://www.walkerart.org/salons/shockoftheview/object/sv_object2_kensett.html

John Frederick Kensett Mount Washington from the Valley of Conway, 1851 Oil on canvas Jennifer Hughs, Davis Museum and Cultural Center Wellesley College John Frederick Kensett's Mount Washington from the Valley of Conway majestically illustrates 19th-century America's hopes and ambitions with convincing realism and sentiment. A rocky dirt path leads into a nest of houses , a church and a few town buildings whose rooftops and steeples peak out from a sheltering valley of trees and farmlands. Resting below the massive Mount Washington off in the distance, the valley is protectively enclosed by the mountains of the Appalachian Mountain range. This hilltop panoramic view personalizes the painting, giving the viewer a physical and spiritual sense of coming home. A diminutive figure can be seen reclining under a shady tree while tending to wandering sheep that dot the hilltop. Another figure is walking slowly along further down the path, as if taking in the scene around him.

16. JOHN FREDERICK KENSETT 1816 A critical analysis of john kensett's painting Bish Bash Falls. http://www.butlerart.com/pc_book/pages/john_frederick_kensett_1816.htm

JOHN FREDERICK KENSETT 1816-1872 Bash Bish Falls c. 1855 Oil on canvas, 34 X 27" (86.36 X 68.58 cm.) Signed, lower left Museum purchase, 989-0-102 The forest and gorge surrounding Bash Bish Falls in South Egremont, Massachusetts, were considered in the mid-nineteenth century to be one of the most picturesque pleasure-tour destinations in the Berkshire Mountains. The falls themselves were described in The Cray-on as "one of the wildest and most beautiful cascades in the country." They became John Frederick Kensetts favorite among the American waterfalls that he visited and painted during the 1850s Kensett painted Bash Bish Falls at least five times. This version is most closely related to a small oval canvas (1851, Lyman Allyn Art Museum, New London, Conn.) and to a larger painting made for his friend, James Suydam (1855, National Academy of Design). The Butler Institute's version is unfinished and therefore the date is uncertain, but it may have been originally intended for Suydam, as both paintings were probably once the same size. The small Bash Bish Falls that Kensett painted in 1851 shows a pair of boulders in the middle ground linked by a foot bridge, a cataract below that, a pool of water in the foreground and, as a backdrop, a thicket of trees. Kensett completed the first composition in the year that he painted a number of views of Niagara Falls, rendering the Berkshire falls as Niagara's compositional opposite. Far from a powerful, horizontal waterfall along an open horizon as in Niagara Falls, the Bash Bish Falls are made delicate, vertical, and closed-in. Later, Kensett returned to Bash Bish Falls to paint another version of them, where he presented the cascade as a grand panorama, which contrasts with this work's concentration on their more sheltered, less spectacular, aspect. It appears that Kensett painted the Butler Institute's canvas to enlarge the view he had painted in 1851
