Autumn Study, View over Hanging Rock, Newport, 1868 John La Farge American La Farge often painted the scenery in and around Newport, Rhode Island, where he maintained a residence from 1859 to 1879. One of his favorite subjects was Bishop Berkeley’s Rock, which terminates a ridge in Paradise Hills. This view of the rock appeared under its present title in 1884 at a sale of the contents of La Farge’s studio. The artist’s failure to show the painting earlier implies that he did not consider it finished; the rough brushwork and sketchy surface—in places, little more than a wash of thinned oil
