Description
This is a restored copy of Louisiana Landscape, 1880, oil on canvas, by prominent nineteenth century American painter Joseph Rusling Meeker.
Joseph Rusling Meeker (born in Newark, New Jersey, 21 April 1827; died in St. Louis, Missouri, 27 September 1887) was a United States painter. He studied at the National Academy of Design in 1845–46, and exhibited at the American Art Union in 1849–50, the Academy of Design in 1867, and the Boston Art Club in 1877. His studio was at St. Louis. Meeker had a special sympathy with southern scenery, and has successfully rendered the landscapes of Louisiana.
Louisiana is a state in the Deep South and South Central regions of the United States. It is the 20th-smallest by area and the 25th most populous of the 50 U.S. states. Louisiana is bordered by the state of Texas to the west, Arkansas to the north, Mississippi to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south.
In usage in the Southern United States, a bayou is a body of water typically found in a flat, low-lying area; it may refer to an extremely slow-moving stream or river, a marshy lake or wetland or a creek whose current reverses daily due to tides, which contains brackish water highly conducive to fish life and plankton.
