Edward Hill Art
American, 1843-1923
Born in Wolverhampton, England in 1843, Edward Hill was the ninth of ten children. Though ultimately less well known than his older brother Thomas Hill (1829-1908), Edward was a productive painter in oil and watercolor for more than sixty years, producing images of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, southern genre scenes, still-life paintings, portraits, American Indian pictures, and western views.
His paintings are widely collected and are represented in museums as diverse as the Hood Museum at Dartmouth College, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and the Denver Art Museum.
The Hill family moved to Taunton, Massachusetts less than a year after Edward's birth. With his brother Thomas, Edward worked as a furniture painter with firms in Massachusetts for several years, and he shared Thomas' studio in San Francisco in 1862-63 and again in 1872. Edward would be a constant traveler throughout his long career, shuttling for various lengths of time not only between New England and California, but to regions from the American South to the Pacific Northwest.
Beginning in the mid 1870s, and for fifteen summers, Hill was artist-in-residence at the Profile House in Franconia Notch. In his art studio he exhibited paintings of the local scenes and sold them directly to hotel guests. In the early 1890s, Hill moved his art studio to Bethlehem, New Hampshire. Hill also painted at the Glen House (1884), the Waumbek Hotel (1885), the Flume House (1894), Nashua (1895 to 1898) and in New Boston (1899 to 1901). Hill was a prolific artist who painted every aspect of White Mountain landscape. Hotel guests purchased his New England paintings and carried them to every corner of America.
By the early 1880s Hill's financial success and artistic reputation were well established, largely on the strength of his paintings of the White Mountains. Ever restless and in search of new imagery, however, he also lived and worked at times in Colorado, Utah, and elsewhere in the Southwest throughout the last two decades of the century and the first decade of the next. From 1911 to his death in 1923, the artist lived and painted primarily in the Pacific Northwest.
Hill's paintings are diverse in character, in response both to the changing landscapes he experienced and to the changing influences of the artistic times. Lighter, brighter, and slightly more impressionistic in his later career, his canvases remained topographically accurate, and he was unusually receptive among the landscape painters of his day to inclusion of specific human activities in his work.

By Frederick Williams
Located in Milford, NH
A fine New Hampshire landscape by American artist Frederick Dickinson Williams (1829–1915). Frederick Dickinson Williams was born into a patrician household in Boston, Massachusetts and attended the prestigious Boston Latin School before entering Harvard University in 1846. After graduation and until 1874, Williams taught drawing and painting in the Boston Public School System as a Professor of Drawing until 1874. Williams and his wife, the former Lucia M. Hunt, of Newburyport, relocated to Paris, France, where both studied the new French art and painted landscapes and genre scenes in their studio until 1888, when Lucia died in Paris.
Williams returned to the United States and settled in Boston, opening a studio in late 1888. He continued to paint in the Boston area with regular trips to the White Mountains of New Hampshire and other wilderness areas where he produced a large body of French-inspired landscapes in the manner of Corot and other contemporary French painters. In 1904, a serious fire in his Boston studio destroyed all of his inventory, including a number of award-winning canvases from his Paris sojourn. Despite this significant loss, he continued to paint. During his long and successful career, Williams exhibited his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, the Washington DC Art...
