Autumn Meadows

Former Attribution Formerly attributed to Albert Pinkham Ryder American
1912–17
Not on view
Ryder is among the most widely forged of American artists, a problem dating back to his own lifetime. This landscape, once attributed to Ryder, is now known to be a forgery. It probably dates after 1912 but was completed by 1917, the year of the artist's death, when it was sold to Philadelphia collector John Braun. The pastiche is derived from two actual Ryders: the horse is borrowed from an early pastoral work such as "Grazing Horse" in the Brooklyn Museum; the landscape is based on "The Forest of Arden" (see 61.101.36). The actual painter of the work will probably never be known.
