Description
The Beeches was painted by Asher Brown Durand in 1845 on behalf of Abraham Cozzens, a prominent New York art collector. The painting was heavily influenced by the work of British painter John Constable, whose work Durand had viewed during an 1840 trip to the United Kingdom. Durand's work reflects a deviation in the Hudson River School in which landscape paintings began to shift focus from dramatic natural scenes to more tranquil scenes.[1][2]
The Beeches is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1]
