“Sunset, Winter (Church at Dusk)”
This oil on canvas painting from 1862 is by American artist Louis Rémy Mignot and is titled “Sunset, Winter (Church at Dusk).” Mignot’s art is known for its bright colors and atmospheric quality; both features you can see in this piece.
This piece was made the same year that Mignot, as a southern supporter, decided to leave the United States due to the onset of the Civil War, and move to London. During this period of Mignot’s life, he was part of the New York based Hudson River School of Art. Originally from South Carolina, Mignot was the only southerner to actually take part in this art movement.
“Sunset, Winter (Church at Dusk)” is currently in a private collection.
