alfred thompson bricher, a prominent figure in the hudson river school, was born on april 10, 1837, in portsmouth, new hampshire. he received his education at an academy in newburyport, massachusetts, which laid the foundation for his future artistic pursuits.
bricher began his career as a businessman in boston, massachusetts, but his true passion lay in art. he studied at the lowell institute and with notable artists like albert bierstadt, william morris hunt, and others. bricher's artistic style was characterized by his remarkable skill in capturing landscape studies from nature. after 1858, he devoted himself to art as a profession, opening a studio in boston and later moving to new york city in 1868.
