About George Henry Durrie
George Henry Durrie (1820 - 1863) began as an itinerant artist that painted portraits. Landscapes, which had first appeared as backgrounds in his portraits, became his primary focus. He painted local landmarks such as East Rock and West Rock, as well as composite scenes of rural life. Country inns and barnyards, scenes of human activity, became his most oft-used subjects.
