George Loring Brown (1814-1889) works have more of a look of a memory than a current field of view. This is especially true in long view panoramas in Italy, less so in paintings of his native New England: (though his White Mountain paintings all have just a perfect amount of fall color for accent).
The paintings in Italy evoke more of a collective memory than just his own: the glory that once was, and a reflection on what is lasting. His views generally did not include any humans: maybe he regarded them as transitory also.
