Jasper Francis Cropsey Paintings

Known as the Painter of Autumn, Jasper Francis Cropsey (1823–1900) captured the blazing reds, oranges, and golds of the American fall with a chromatic intensity so vivid that European audiences demanded proof his colors were real. His panoramic landscapes capture the blazing reds, oranges, and golds of the American fall with a chromatic intensity unmatched by any other painter.

Cropsey paintings — including Autumn—On the Hudson River and Greenwood Lake — combine topographical precision with Romantic grandeur, presenting the American landscape as a luminous paradise of color and light. His European audiences were so skeptical of his fiery autumn palette that Cropsey reportedly carried actual American leaves to prove their vivid colors were real.

Hand-painted Jasper Francis Cropsey oil painting reproductions capture the spectacular autumn color, luminous atmosphere, and panoramic grandeur of his Hudson River School landscapes — bringing the breathtaking beauty of the American fall into your home.
