Chauncey Foster Ryder,  American, (1868-1949)

Ryder was born in Danbury, Connecticut in 1868. He spent much of his youth in New Haven, Connecticut, where he began to pursue an interest in painting between the ages of ten and twelve.  In his early twenties he moved to Chicago for artistic instruction, studying first at the Art Institute and then at Smith’s Academy, where he became an instructor after his first year as a student.  In 1891, he moved to France so that he could study art in Paris. 

He first enrolled in the Academie Julien. After two years there, he began to exhibit works at the annual Paris Salon, and showed works regularly there from 1903-1909.  1907 was also an important year for Ryder when the prominent New York art dealer, William Macbeth, began to represent him, selling the first of Ryder’s works after only two months of partnership.  Theirs was a lifelong business relationship.  Ryder soon moved to New York City and began to show his work both in Paris and in New York, and finally in 1909 he opened a studio in New York. 

In 1910 Ryder began to travel throughout New England, the landscape of which provided much of the subject matter for his work. He and his wife bought “a little house and three acres in Wilton, New Hampshire,” and for the rest of their lives, they split their time between New York City in the winter months and New Hampshire in the spring and summer. From their home in Wilton they traveled throughout New England, and continued to do so until old age.

This painting, "Madonna Mountain, Vermont" was likely painted "en plein air" around 1922. It is an image of Madonna Mountain which is now part of the Smuggler's Notch ski area.  A similar though larger painting, entitled "Smuggler's Notch" was exhibited at the National Academy of Design in NYC in 1923.
​
Ryder’s exhibition career is extensive, from the NAD, PAFA, the Lyme AA, AIC, and many other galleries and art associations. Ryder’s paintings are included in the collections of PAFA, MMA, NYPL, the Hartford, CT Athenaeum, and the New Haven PCC, to name a few.
