Note

Alexander Wyant’s oeuvre reveals the variety of influences his style was subject to, from John Constable, to the French Barbizon, to George Inness. Adirondack Stream, emphasizing movement and richness with its more painterly quality, demonstrates his embrace of these stylistic elements to convey the wonder of nature.
