Fitz Hugh Lane,  from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fitz Henry Lane (born Nathaniel Rogers Lane, also known as Fitz Hugh Lane) (19 December 1804  14 August 1865) was an American painter and printmaker of a style that would later be called Luminism, for its use of pervasive light.

Nathaniel Rogers Lane was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts. His father was a sailmaker who died when Lane was only sixteen. A childhood disease (probably polio) left Lane with partially crippled legs, and he walked on crutches for the rest of his life. In 1831, for unknown reasons, he applied to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to change his name to Fitz Henry Lane. At some point in the early 20th century, Lane's name became confused and was mistakenly believed to be Fitz Hugh Lane, probably because that is how he signed his paintings. From 1832 to 1847 he worked in Boston, before returning to Gloucester where he spent the rest of his life.

A contemporary of the Hudson River School, his best-known paintings depict maritime and nautical subjects, especially harbors and seaports. He had a good reputation in Gloucester and Boston during his lifetime, but fell into obscurity after his death. His work only began to receive greater recognition in the mid-20th century, when he was identified as one of the earliest pioneers of Luminism. His work now commands high prices.
