George Henry Durrie (June 6, 1820October 15, 1863) was an American artist whose rural winter scenes became popular when reproduced as lithographic prints by Currier and Ives. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut. In his teens the self-taught artist painted portraits in the New Haven area. In 1839 he received artistic instruction from Nathaniel Jocelyn, a local engraver and portrait painter.〔National Museum of American Art & Kloss 1985, p. 191.〕 After 1842 he settled in New Haven, but made painting trips to New Jersey, New York, and Virginia.〔 Around 1850, he began painting genre scenes of rural life, as well as the winter landscapes that became popular when Currier and Ives published them as lithographs. Four prints were published between 1860 and the artist's death in New Haven in 1863; six additional prints were issued posthumously.〔 Collections holding paintings by Durrie include the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Shelburne Museum, Shelburne VT, and the White House. == Gallery == File:George Henry Durrie - A Christmas Party.JPG|A Christmas Party File:Farmyard in Winter by George Henry Durrie, 1858.jpg|1858 - Farmyard in Winter File:George Henry Durrie - Red School House, Winter.JPG|1858 - Red School House File:George Henry Durrie - Jones Inn, Winter.JPG|1853 - Jones Inn File:George Henry Durrie - Going to Church.JPG|1853 - Going to Church File:George Henry Durrie - Hunter in Winter Wood - Google Art Project.jpg|Hunter in Winter Wood File:George Henry Durrie - Winter Scene in New Haven, Connecticut - Google Art Project.jpg| Winter Scene in New Haven, Connecticut 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Henry Durrie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
