Henry Golden Dearth
Henry Golden Dearth (1864–1918) was an American painter known for his landscapes and still lifes. Born in Bristol, Rhode Island, Dearth studied at the National Academy of Design in New York and later at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Early in his career, Dearth painted lush landscapes in a style influenced by the Barbizon School and Tonalism, often depicting tranquil scenes bathed in soft light. Later in his career, he turned to still life painting, where he explored more decorative and symbolic themes.
