Warwick For possibly the first time, locally, Jasper Francis Cropsey’s acclaimed “Mount Adam and Eve - Haymaking” (1869) will be on exhibit for two days, Nov. 18 and 19, in Baird’s Tavern museum on Main St., Warwick, courtesy of Questroyal Galleries of New York. The painting will feature at Harvest to Holly, a lantern-lit guided tour of Warwick’s historical buildings, sponsored by the Historical Society of the Town of Warwick. It is a breathtaking autumnal panorama of farmlands surrounding the hamlet of Edenville, with Mounts Adam and Eve as a backdrop. Cropsey, who maintained his elegant home and studio in Warwick from 1869 to 1884, was one of America’s foremost landscape painters of the Hudson River school of art. His works are in private and museum collections in the United States and Europe. In his day, Cropsey was also a noted architect and interior designer and decorator. His house, one of the great Hudson River mansions of the 19th century, overlooked the Warwick Valley with its sweeping lawns, gardens and stately trees. Fascinated by nature, Cropsey put on canvas the images of Warwick’s landscapes made so famous by the eminent English writer Frank Forester, who vacationed here in the 1830s. Together, they brought the magical beauty of the community to world attention and were the forerunners of generations of artists and writers who called Warwick home and the center for their creative energies. Tickets for Harvest to Holly are on sale at The Gift Shop at Baird’s Tavern, Newhard’s, Peck’s Wine and Spirits and Style Counsel.
