Born in Albany, New York, the same year as Alexander Wyant, on 28 October 1836, Martin forged a career that spanned the Hudson River School style to more of a plein-air style that approximated impressionism. Popular with the earlier critics, Martin was praised with hyperbole: “his finest canvases looked as if no one but God and he had ever seen the places pictured” (Sherman, 1917, p. 4) but was justly allocated a respectful place in the pantheon of American landscape painters.
