 ROBERT CRANNELL MINOR, N.A. 
 AMERICAN: 1840—1904 
 
 OBERT CRANNELL MINOR was born in New 
 
 York City in 1840; he studied under Boulanger 
 and Van Luppen in Holland, and at Paris, where he 
 spent three years. Leaving Paris, he joined the group 
 at Barbizon under the leadership of Diaz and Corot, 
 under the influence of whom he ultimately fell, his 
 landscapes reflecting more especially the poetry and 
 technique of the latter master. 
 
 In 1872 he exhibited in the Paris Salon “The 
 Silent Lake.” Passing to England, where he remained 
 for two years, he had paintings hung in the Royal 
 Academy and at the Grosvenor Galleries. 
 
 He was elected amember of the National Academy 
 in 1897 and died at Waterford, Connecticut, on August 
 3, 1904.

 of the lake sweeps broadly to the left, to be defined against the sky-

 Ow a bright spring morning the little river sweeps merrily down into

 between its flower-sprinkled grassy banks; overhead the sun is shining 
 lustily despite the gray rain-clouds mustering in the background, and

 A sourrary fisherman in a scow sits stilly over his rod on the little 
 stream, which wanders between the banks of long grass, losing itself 
 behind a curve where the willows are, to lead the eye to the distant 
 prospect of hills glowing darkly purple in the fast failing light. The 
 westering sun falls full on the trees, throwing their long shadows on 
 to the white wall of the farmhouse at the left and imbuing it with the 
 last bright glare which foreshadows nightfall.
