Fitz Hugh Lane Biography / Biography of Fitz Hugh Lane Biography (515 words)
Fitz Hugh Lane (1804-1865) was an American marine painter whose works express the transition from the narrative to the highly personal and poetic style associated with luminism.
Fitz Hugh Lane was born in Gloucester, Mass., on Dec. 19, 1804.
Lane now began to paint quiet, evocative views, and he preferred to depict the transitional hours of the day, such as sunrise and sunset, rather than to fill his pictures with people, as he had done earlier.
