FITZ HENRY LANE Stage Fort Across Gloucester Harbor, 1986

Fitz Henry Lane (commonly known as Fitz H Lane) originally painted Stage Fort Across Gloucester Harbor in 1862. This serene depiction of Gloucester Harbor, with its meticulous attention to light and detail, reflects Lane’s mastery of luminism, a style characterized by its focus on the effects of light on landscapes. The painting is part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is housed in their American Wing.

The reproduction, first printed in 1986, was sold by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is a representation of this iconic piece from the museum’s collection.
