Originally trained as an architect, Jasper Cropsey studied watercolor and life drawing at the National Academy of Design in New York City, turning exclusively to landscape painting by 1845. By the late 1850s and early 1860s he had begun to specialize in paintings of the autumn landscape in the American Northeast, often idealized and notable for the use of vivid colors.
