John Frederick Kensett

(American, 1816–1872)

Room Paintings holds 28 paintings by John Frederick Kensett, from The Met, the National Gallery of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art. They date from 1851 to 1872. We file most of them under Hudson River School, and some under Luminism and Romanticism. The most common subjects are landscapes, rivers and lakes and skies and weather. All of them suit a room in our lists, most often the living room and bedroom.
