Benjamin Bellows Grant Stone (American, 1829-1906), "Ruins of a Mountain Fort Eroded by a Waterfall", c. 1860, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 12 1/2 in. x 9 in., in a period giltwood frame. E700- 1000 Note: Stone studied with the eminent Hudson River School painter Jasper F. Cropsey (1823-1900) in New York between 1849 and 1855, and after 1861 exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design, as well as at the Boston Athenaeum. He served as an officer in the Union army, and after the Civil War settled at Catskill-on-Hudson, NY, near the northern edge of the Catskill Mountains. This nostalgic view of an abandoned fort thus may well reflect his wartime experience, or his explorations of Revolutionary War emplacements above the Hudson Valley
