Jonas Lie was a painter born in Norway to a Norwegian father and an American mother. After the death of his father he emigrated to the U.S., joining his mother and sisters in New York.
He became known for his paintings of the city, and in particular of the Atlantic coast in New England and Canada.
In some of his paintings, it looks to me like he has been influenced by other painters friends om Norway, like Frits Thaulow.
