About the piece
Painted in 1888 by Alexis Jean Fournier, this landscape offers a serene perspective of Lowry Hill in Minneapolis. The composition features a winding dirt road that leads the eye toward the growing city's spires and early structures, set against a vast, soft-lit sky. Fournier’s work reflects the influence of the Barbizon school, focusing on the quiet, natural beauty of the American Midwest during a period of urban expansion.
