Original Description
"Summer In The Hills – Two Paintings" by Jervis McEntee encapsulates the serene melancholy of the Hudson River School's twilight years. Painted circa 1870-1880, these companion landscapes showcase McEntee's signature contemplative approach – neither grandly dramatic nor strictly realistic, but dwelling poetically on nature's quiet transitions. The muted greens and golden haziness suggest humid summer afternoons where time slows, with compositions that balance intimate foreground details against softly blurred distances. As a close friend of Sanford Gifford and follower of Thomas Cole's poetic tradition, McEntee occupies a unique niche in American art history – his works bridge the Hudson River School's topographic precision with the later Tonalist movement's emotional resonance. The dual-panel format here creates a rhythmic visual conversation about light and memory, making these historically significant as precursors to segmented modern landscapes.
For interiors, these paintings lend themselves beautifully to transitional spaces where contemplation occurs – a reading nook, study, or dining area seeking refined rusticity. Their 16x24 inch proportions (typical for McEntee) suit medium-sized walls, best displayed side-by-side with 4-6 inches between frames to honor their companionship while avoiding visual clutter. Choose warm walnut or blackened oak frames to complement the earthy palette, and position them where morning or indirect daylight enhances their golden undertones. In offices, pair them with Mission-style oak furniture and textured linens to create an Arts & Crafts ambiance; for homes, they harmonize exceptionally with green-gray wall tones (like Farrow & Ball's "French Gray") that echo their atmospheric depth. Avoid competing with bold patterns nearby – these paintings reward slow looking, deserving a setting of understated elegance.
