Musidora c1825 by American Painter Asher Brown Durand (1796 – 1886); who was part of the Romanticism Art Movement and was a graduate of the Hudson River School. Bhí príomhfhócas Asher ar phictiúir tírdhreacha.
Seo é beautiful nude portrait engraving of a young woman in a lush forest that has removed all of her outer garments, which included her hat, scarf, and dress.
She is partially covered by sheer garment that is falling off her right shoulder and that is covering the front of her waist and right leg as it falls to the floor; and that she is holding in place on the front of her waist with her left hand.
She has laid her cloths at the base of a tree that is not to far behind her as she looks off into the distant sky that is illuminating her, as she is positioned slightly turned to her left; while she leans on a medium sized boulder with the palm of her right hand that is by an embankment of a large pond.
By the embankment are an assortment of flowers and plants, as well as smaller trees; and in the distance is a dense concentration of tress, and water flowing to an arched opening in the trees where we can see light illuminating the area.
Musidora le Asher B. Durand is a remastered digital art old masters reproduction of a public domain image that is available for purchase online as a cló ealaín chanbhás rollta.

Durand was born in and died in Maplewood, Nua Gheirsí (ansin ar a dtugtar Jefferson Village). Bhí sé ar an ochtú leanbh déag, and his father was a watchmaker and a silversmith.
Do phrintíseach Durand le greanadóir ó 1812 chun 1817 agus ina dhiaidh sin chuaigh sé i gcomhpháirtíocht le húinéir na cuideachta, Charles Cushing Wright (1796 – 1854), a d’iarr air oifig na cuideachta i Nua-Eabhrac a bhainistiú.
He engraved the Declaration of Independence for John Trumbull during 1823, a bhunaigh cáil Durand mar cheann de na greanadóirí is fearr sa tír.
Chabhraigh Durand le Cumann Líníochta Nua-Eabhrac a eagrú le linn 1825, a dhéanfadh an tAcadamh Náisiúnta Dearaidh; bheadh sé ag freastal ar an eagraíocht mar uachtarán ó 1845 chun 1861.
Baineadh úsáid as greanta Asher ar nótaí bainc mar phortráidí do na chéad stampaí postais i Meiriceá, an 1847 sraith. In éineacht lena dheartháir Cyrus greanta sé cuid de na cinn a tháinig ina dhiaidh 1851 saincheisteanna.
D’athraigh a phríomhshuim ó ghreanadóireacht go péintéireacht ola thart 1830 le spreagadh a phátrúin, Giolcach Luman. I rith 1837, chuaigh sé in éineacht lena chara Thomas Cole ar thuras sceitseála go Loch Schroon i Sléibhte Adirondacks agus go luath ina dhiaidh sin thosaigh sé ag díriú ar phéinteáil tírdhreacha.
Chaith sé samhraí ag sceitseáil sna Catskills, Adirondacks, agus Sléibhte Bána New Hampshire, ag déanamh na gcéadta léaráidí agus sceitsí ola a ionchorpraíodh níos déanaí i bpíosaí críochnaithe acadaimh a chabhraigh le Scoil Abhainn Hudson a shainiú.
Cuimhnítear Durand go háirithe mar gheall ar a mhionléirithe ar chrainn, carraigeacha, agus duilliúr. Ba thacadóir é chun tarraingt go díreach ón dúlra leis an oiread réalachais agus ab fhéidir. Durand a scríobh, “Lig [an t-ealaíontóir] go scrupallach glacadh le cibé [nádúr] i láthair go dtí go mbeidh sé, i gcéim, tá gaol agat lena héigríoch ... ná lig dó a naomhacht a thruailliú trí imeacht go toiliúil ón bhfírinne.”
Cosúil le healaíontóirí eile Hudson River School, Chreid Durand freisin go raibh an dúlra ina léiriú do-éifeachtach ar Dhia. Chuir sé an dearcadh seo agus a thuairimí ginearálta ar an ealaín in iúl ina aiste “Litreacha ar Phéinteáil Tírdhreacha” sa Crayon, tréimhseachán ealaíne i Nua Eabhrac ó lár an 19ú haois. Scríobh Durand, “[T.]is é fíor-chúige na hEalaíne Tírdhreacha léiriú ar obair Dé sa chruthú infheicthe…”
Tá Durand suntasach as a chuid 1849 ag péinteáil Kindred Spirits a thaispeánann a chomh-ealaíontóir Scoil Abhainn Hudson Thomas Cole agus an file William Cullen Bryant i dtírdhreach Sléibhte Catskills. Péinteáladh é seo mar ómós do Cole ar bhás Cole le linn 1848, agus mar bhronntanas do Bryant.
