Newport was a favourite location with the East Coast painters. They were attracted to the beauty of the landscape, which they began to paint from life. Heade's painting is one of the most representative examples of LuminismThe American landscape painting style of the 1850s-1870s, characterized by effects of light in landscapes, poetic atmosphere, often sublime, through the use of aerial perspective, and a hiding of visible brushstrokes. It is related to, and sometimes refers to Impressionism. Leading American luminists were Fitz Hugh Lane (1804-1865), John F. Kensett (1816-1872), Martin J. Heade (1819-1904), Jasper Francis Cropsey (1823-1900), and Frederick E. Church (1826-1900)., a style which emerged in the 1860s within American landscape painting. The term describes the work of a number of artists who, although they did not form a specific group or school, all produced a type of landscape painting devoted to rivers or coastal scenes and based on the effects of light. Alongside Heade, Lane was another important Luminist.
