More about this artwork

Henry Ossawa Tanner's painting, "Marshes In New Jersey," painted in 1895, is a superb example of his mastery in capturing the subtle interplay of light and atmosphere. In this captivating landscape, Tanner presents a serene and somewhat enigmatic view of the marshlands, under what appears to be a dusk or a moonlit sky.The artwork is dominated by rich, moody hues of blues and subtle greens, conveying a tranquil, almost ethereal quality. Faint touches of yellow and white suggest the presence of distant lights, which might indicate human activity or simply reflections on the water. The sky is rendered with a luminous moon or sun breaking through the dense clouds, casting a soft glow across the scene and reflecting off the water, enhancing the sense of depth and tranquility.Tanner's technique of blending colors and creating soft gradations gives the painting a dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to contemplate the natural beauty and quietude of the scene. This work, like many of Tanner's landscapes, goes beyond mere depiction; it evokes emotion and a deep sense of place.

Henry Ossawa Tanner (June 21, 1859 – May 25, 1937) was an American artist who spent much of his career in France. He became the first African-American painter to gain international acclaim. Tanner moved to Paris, France, in 1891 to study at the Académie Julian and gained acclaim in French artistic circles. His painting Daniel in the Lions' Den (1895, location unknown) was accepted into the 1896 Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Tanner's Resurrection of Lazarus (1896, Musée d'Orsay, Paris) was purchased by the French government after winning the third-place medal at the 1897 Salon. In 1923, the French government elected Tanner chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
