Today is the Autumnal Equinox, and marks the beginning of Autumn (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere). The day and night are equal in length, and all’s right with the world — at least out on Greenwood Lake in Cropsey’s beautifully atmospheric landscape.

  2. The painting is a gift of Wells Fargo to the museum. Last week they donated US$150,000 to Colorado flood relief recovery efforts.
