Artist's Biography: Born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Alfred Bricher devoted most of his career to marine painting along the eastern seaboard. He was considered one of the last of the luminist artists, and did paintings, often in watercolor, that convey reflective and atmospheric effects of light on water and air at different times of the day and under varying weather conditions. As a watercolorist, he also depicted good-looking female figures.

Bricher grew up in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and largely self taught studied in his leisure hours at the Lowell Institute in Boston and also attended an academy in Newburyport, Massaschusetts.

He began painting landscapes in 1856, and in the 1860s, Bricher followed his contemporaries to paint the popular vistas of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. There, particularly at North Conway, he studied and painted with Albert Bierstadt, William Morris Hunt, Gabriella Eddy, and Benjamin Champney.

In Boston, where he had a studio from 1858 to 1868, he was also exposed to the artistic community of many important nineteenth-century marine and landscape painters including Fitz Hugh Lane and Martin Johnson Heade. He was also highly prolific, an example being that he created twenty finished paintings between 1860 and 1861.
