Winter Scene, North Moat Mountain Winter Scene, North Moat Mountain The sky was of a deep, low tone, broken with dark clouds, but yet glowing with a subdued light. The snowy peaks were relieved against it with radiant, sparkling brightness; and lowe [sic] down, where the dark forests lie,...it was a mingling and breaking of purple, crimson and gold.--B Champney, 1857 Signed and dated lower right: B. Champney 1873 18 x 28 Lent anonymously Although Champney often rented a studio in Boston for the winter, or, after 1874, worked in his Woburn house during the winter, some years he and his family would spend the coldest part of the year in North Conway. The changed appearance of the areas he painted in the summer and fall inspired the artist, as seen in this rendition of sunset on Moat Mountain.
