MARINE VIEW NEW BEDFORD HARBOR by William Bradford (American 1823-1892) Childs Gallery, Boston, MA
William Bradford was raised a Quaker in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, across the harbor from the busy whaling port of New Bedford where, by 1855, he had his own studio.
He specialized in ship portraiture done with painstaking detail but with a sensitivity for the effects of light and atmosphere which so occupied the Gloucester, Massachusetts painter, Fitz Hugh Lane, whom Bradford probably knew.
By 1861 Bradford had moved to the Tenth Street Studio Building in New York City. There he met Frederic Edwin Church, whose adventurous travels to the Andes, and those of fellow New Bedford artist, Albert Bierstadt, to the American West, must have encouraged Bradford to continue an interest he already had in the Arctic.
By the mid 1870s, Bradford was wintering in New York, summering in New Bedford, painting pictures of the Arctic and giving lectures on the frozen North. These he illustrated with his photographs of the frigid northern wilderness, whose untouched beauty, overwhelming scale, and crystal clear atmosphere continued to provide inspiration for paintings throughout his career
