Off Mount Desert Island Fitz Henry Lane (American, 1804-1865). Off Mount Desert Island, 1856. Oil on canvas, frame: 31 x 43 x 3 1/4 in. ( x x cm). Mount Desert Island, off the coast of Maine, first became a subject for American painters in the 1830s. For Fitz Henry Lane, the Maine coast provided a natural extension of his repertoire of New England marine imagery. Lane’s reductive power is demonstrated in this spare composition, in which much of the picture plane is given over to the effect of a twilight sky and the shadowy form of a ship reflected in the still water.
