Sanford Robinson Gifford (1823–1880) was a prominent American landscape painter and a leading figure of the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century art movement known for its romantic portrayal of the American landscape. Gifford's works are celebrated for their luminous quality and meticulous attention to atmospheric effects, often capturing the serene and majestic beauty of nature. Born in Greenfield, New York, Gifford was the son of an iron foundry owner and initially pursued a career in engineering before turning to art. He studied at Brown University and later at the National Academy of Design in New York City, where he was influenced by the works of Thomas Cole and Asher B. Durand, pioneers of the Hudson River School.

Gifford's artistic journey was marked by extensive travels, both within the United States and abroad. His expeditions took him to the Catskills, the Adirondacks, the Rocky Mountains, and the shores of Lake Superior, as well as to Europe and the Middle East. These travels provided him with a wealth of inspiration and subject matter, which he translated into his paintings with a distinctive blend of realism and idealism. Gifford's landscapes are characterized by their ethereal light, often referred to as "luminism," a technique that emphasizes the effects of light and atmosphere to create a sense of depth and tranquility.

Throughout his career, Gifford exhibited widely and received numerous accolades. He was elected a full member of the National Academy of Design in 1854 and was an active participant in the art community, contributing to the growth and recognition of American landscape painting. His works are held in major collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the National Gallery of Art. Gifford's legacy endures as a testament to his skill in capturing the sublime beauty of the natural world and his contribution to the development of American art.
