Note
In 1893 Perrine moved to New York to study at the Cooper Institute and the National Academy of Design. By 1902 he had settled at the foot of the Palisades, where he remained until 1922, devoting himself to that landscape as both subject and inspiration. Perrine considered the vastness of the Palisades both a setting that offered seclusion and his primary source of artistic inspiration.
