The gallery says that the show “celebrates a landscape tradition which has captivated generations of artists for over 100 years, from Thomas Cole and Frederick Church to Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth. A vital place of artistic inspiration, Maine’s rugged coastline, churning seas, iconic lighthouses, vivid buoys, lobster boats and historic harbors have been subjects for some of America’s finest painters.’’
