Alvan Fisher
United States
Alvan Fisher is an United States American Folk Art painter. 13 works are cataloged here, principally at Museum of Fine Arts Boston, most of them oil paintings.
An American landscape painter in the 1800s, Alvan Fisher created sweeping mountain and lake views. In *Sugar Loaf Mountain* he framed a rugged peak glowing in morning light; in *Lake in the Mountains with Hunters* he set tiny figures against vast water and sky. These scenes belong to the Hudson River School tradition that emphasized nature’s grandeur. Want to step inside the scene? Try tracing the lake’s edge in *A Calm Watering Place—Boundless Scene with Cattle*.
