Newington-Cropsey Foundation, Art institution in Hastings-on-Hudson, United States
The Newington-Cropsey Foundation preserves Ever Rest, a historic home and artist studio from the 1800s. The foundation also runs an art gallery where landscape paintings and other works are displayed for visitors to see.
Artist Jasper F. Cropsey lived and worked here from the 1860s until his death. The foundation was later created to protect his artistic legacy and home for future generations to experience.
The gallery displays works showing how the artist viewed and represented nature around him. The paintings reflect the romantic way many Americans looked at their landscapes in the 1800s.
Visitors can explore the home and gallery on guided tours that require advance registration. It is best to contact ahead of your visit to arrange a time that works for you.
The home features a rotunda designed after the ancient Pantheon in Rome. This unusual architectural detail shows how deeply the artist was inspired by his travels in Europe and classical buildings.
