Born in Rossville, Staten Island, the artist showed an early interest in drawing and architecture. At the age of fourteen, Jasper Francis Cropsey was awarded diplomas from the New York Mechanics’ Institute and the American Institute of the City of New York. The architect Joseph Trench offered Cropsey a five-year apprenticeship in his New York office and encouraged his talent for drawing and Jasper Francis Cropsey painting sale by supplying him with artist's materials. In l840, Trench hired Edward Maury, a now obscure British painter, to give the young architect watercolor lessons. That instruction, along with several classes in life drawing at the National Academy of Design, constitute Cropsey's formal artistic education. |

| The artist opened his own architectural practice in New York in 1843, the same year Jasper Francis Cropsey first exhibited at the National Academy of Design, but by late 1845, he was devoting himself entirely to landscape views of the Catskills, the White Mountains, and the region around Greenwood Lake, New Jersey. |

Newly married in l847, Cropsey and his wife
left for a two-year sojourn in Italy. On
their return to New York, the artist began
to produce paintings from sketches Jasper
Francis Cropsey had made on his travels.
He soon turned to
American scenery, however, emulating the
style and technique of his predecessors,
Thomas Cole and Asher B. Durand, whom Jasper
Francis Cropsey greatly admired. Cropsey returned to Europe in l856, this time to spend eight years in England. The crisp, detailed style that Jasper Francis Cropsey began to show there owes much to the Pre-Raphaelite "truth-to-nature" concepts then in vogue and won him accolades from the foreign press as well as the English royalty. When Jasper Francis Cropsey exhibited Autumn - On the Hudson River (1860; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.) at a London gallery, Cropsey gained renown on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean that endured throughout the 1860s. The financial success Cropsey received enabled him to begin to design and build his dream house, Aladdin, in Warwick, New York. By the 1870s, however, Jasper Francis Cropsey painting career, along with those of his Hudson River School colleagues, was becoming progressively less lucrative, and he returned to architecture to support his family. Jasper Francis Cropsey painting sale from the last fifteen years of his life, much of it in watercolor, is evidence that Cropsey maintained his lifelong enthusiasm for the idealized, optimistic view of American landscape. |
