In 1867, prominent critic Henry Tuckerman wrote that, “to the eye of refined taste, to the quiet lover of nature, there is a peculiar charm in Colman’s style which, sooner or later, will be greatly appreciated.”1 Tuckerman was correct—today, Colman, a second-generation Hudson River School painter, is greatly admired for his quiet, sensitive and poetic approach to the depiction of landscape.
