Cornelius Haly Hankins (American/Tennessee, 1863-1946), "Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee", oil on board, signed lower right, titled on old typewritten label affixed en verso, 10 1/2 in. x 15 1/2 in., framed Note: Cornelius Hankins studied art in St. Louis with Robert Henri and at the New York School of Fine Art with William Merritt Chase. Prior to this, in 1883, he studied in Nashville with Professor E.M. Gardner who founded the Nashville Art Association. He permanently settled in Nashville in 1904 and supported himself primarily as a portrait artist. Hankins' talent, however, is best illustrated in his bucolic landscapes and well composed still life paintings. The work offered here depicts a lush wooded river landscape of the Cumberland plateau. With its visible brushwork, the influence of his Impressionist teachers Chase and Henri is evident.
