For more info on today’s artist, Wikipedia has a decent introductory article here, and the Cape Ann Museum has an extensive, illustrated biography here, and an interactive site, Fitz Henry Lane Online, “a freely-accessible interactive and interdisciplinary online resource […] organized around a catalog of Lane’s paintings, drawings, and lithographs […] intended to provide information of interest to a broad audience, and to serve as a resource for information and analysis of Lane’s work. The website focuses on both the formal, aesthetic qualities and provides detailed information on the historical context of his pictures.”
