White River Fishing, c. 1890
oil on canvas, 26 1/4 by 46 in.
inscribed ?Wm. McKendree Snyder?,? ?Owen Co. 1890s,? and ??White River Fishing?? on label affixed to backWilliam McKendree Snyder was born in Indiana in 1849, the son of a Methodist minister. Snyder was a drummer in the Civil War and had his first art lessons from his father, William. After the war, he studied art in Cincinnati, and between 1872 and 1875, the artist traveled east to study with well-known painters such as William Morris Hunt, George Inness, and Albert Bierstadt.
Snyder married in 1875 and returned to Madison, Indiana with his family, where he settled. Heavily influenced by the Hudson River School, he became known for his paintings of beech trees and the landscape settings of Southern Indiana. Snyder was one of the first artists to paint Brown County, and his works can be found in the collections of Hanover College, Hanover, IN and the Indiana State Museum, Indianapolis.
This painting belonged to the noted author and collector John Delph, who wrote many leading texts on decoys, folk art, and hunting and fishing collectibles. It depicts a fishing scene on the White River in Owen County, IN with canoes and fishermen in the classic, detailed Hudson River style.
Provenance: Estate of John Delph Christie's, New York, February 1-2, 2005, lot 757
