Chauncey Foster Ryder was a prolific artist who worked in oil, watercolor, etching, and lithography. Raised in Connecticut, he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the J. Francis Smith’s Academy. The artist furthered his training in Paris at the Académie Julian under Jean Paul Laurens and studied privately with Raphael Colin. He regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1903 to 1909, before returning to the United States and settling in New York City. At this time, Ryder became known for his Tonalist landscapes due to his poetic depictions of atmospheric effects. During his lifetime, he regularly exhibited his work at Macbeth Gallery and the National Academy of Design, where he was eventually made a full academician in 1920. His work has been collected by multiple institutions including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the New Mexico Museum of Art, and the San Diego Museum of Art, among others.
