Anne B. Schwartz's Springtime in the Alps

A monumental canvas work from John Richard, *Springtime in the Alps* carries the romantic authority of the European landscape tradition rendered at a scale that commands the room — sixty-five inches of vertical presence that transforms any wall into a considered focal point. Anne B. Schwartz's composition is finished in a granulated texture gel that lends the surface a sculptural depth, catching light with the subtle relief of brushwork made almost architectural. The framed canvas arrives as a complete and resolved object, its generous proportions speaking equally to the grand salon and the well-appointed study.
