George Loftus Noyes achieved great success during the first two decades of the 20th century. Known for his extraordinary ability to capture the quality of sunlight and its effects on the landscape and water, The Footbridge - Annisquam is an exquisite example of his mature style. Noyes' parents were US citizens who had moved to Canada to search for oil. When his father died, leaving three young sons, his mother moved the family to East Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she would run a boarding house. Noyes started painting at age 15 and began his studies with George Bartlett at the Massachusetts Normal Art School. By 1885, Noyes was working for the New England Glass Company in Cambridge, painting fruit and flower pictures on glass. Noyes abandoned his apprenticeship in glass painting in 1890, when he left for Paris to enroll at the Académie Colarossi to study with Gustave Courtois, Joseph-Paul Blanc and Paul-Louis Delance. In Blanc's atelier Noyes met and befriended fellow Boston artist Maurice Prendergast. It was during his European study and travels that Noyes developed his skill for painting en plein air when he went to the French countryside with fellow students. In 1892, Noyes traveled to Algeria and then to Italy, where he met up with his brother Edward, an accomplished pianist studying in Dresden. Noyes returned to Boston in 1893, where he established his studio and began to exhibit his work with his friend Prendergast and others. In 1897, Noyes had the opportunity to travel and paint with Frederic Edwin Church on a trip to Mexico. Upon returning to New England, Noyes firmly established his roots in Boston and the North Shore region. Noyes exhibited regularly with the Boston Art Club and the Boston Society of Water Color Painters. Noyes painted in many locations in the Massachusetts countryside and along the coast. Noyes worked in Gloucester, was one of the first landscapists to paint on Cape Cod and produced many colorful interpretations of the New Hampshire and Vermont mountains. His journeys would eventually bring him to the Cape Ann area and Noyes finally settled in Annisquam. It was there that he began to work with Eric Pape, who directed many young artists to Noyes for instruction. One such artist was the young N.C. Wyeth, who once wrote in a letter, "I am arranging to study a part of my time with George Noyes. His color knowledge is superb and I think he will give me much help at this juncture." From 1903–06, Noyes taught painting and drawing at the Leland Stanford School of Art at Stanford University. Although he continued to spend his summers on Cape Ann, many of his personal possessions were destroyed in the Great Earthquake of 1906 while he was living in the San Francisco area. Upon his return to Massachusetts, Noyes would divide his time between stays in Boston and Annisquam. Noyes had his first one-man exhibition in Boston at the Hatfield Gallery in 1906. He quickly gained recognition for his still lifes and richly-colored New England landscapes. Noyes showed regularly at the Copley Gallery and the Guild of Boston Artists. He moved into Fenway Studios in 1907 and stayed there until 1910 when he established a studio on Boylston Street. In 1915, Noyes won a silver medal in the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Shortly afterward, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston purchased his painting Gloucester Wharves. In the early 1920s, Noyes traveled frequently to Palermo in Sicily where his younger brother Edward had settled, and he exhibited his Italian subjects in Boston. In 1930, Noyes and his wife moved to Winter Park, Florida. In 1935 they moved to Braden, Vermont and finally to New Hampshire, near Peterborough. In 1939 a studio fire destroyed hundreds of his paintings, a significant portion of his life's work.

By George Loftus Noyes
Located in New York, NY
George Loftus Noyes House of the Four Winds (La Casa de Los Vientos), Monterey, California, circa 1900 Signed lower right Oil on canvas 21 1/2 x 24 inches Devoting his career to painting views of the countryside around Boston, the North Shore and the White Mountains, George Noyes reached the height of his career in the early part of the 20th century. He was one of the most highly respected landscape painters in Boston at that time, known for his "en plein air" method, but by the time of his death in 1954, he had been largely forgotten. He had outlived his active professional years, had left Boston, and had changed from a popular impressionistic style to a less popular post- impressionist, decorative style. Born in Bothwell, Ontario, he was the son of U.S. citizens who had moved to Canada to search for oil. When the father died, leaving three young sons, the mother moved her family to East Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she ran a boarding house. He began painting at age 15 and took lessons from George Bartlett, an English artist and educator.

Oil on canvas still life painting of a springtime flower bouquet by the American artist, George Luftus Noyes. Signed lower left. No restoration. Condition is good. The painting is housed in a contemporary custom gold leaf gallery frame 28 by 26.25 inches. George Loftus Noyes (1864–1954) was a Canadian born artist who gained fame in the early 20th century as an American Impressionist. Noyes was born in Bothwell, Ontario and died in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Noyes' parents were both American citizens. He was a prominent member of the Boston School of American Impressionism. He studied at the Massachusetts Normal School with George Bartlett in the early 1880s and in France at the Académie Colarossi in Paris between 1890-93. Jean Andre Rixens influenced him to a huge degree. Rixen particularly influenced the artist's still life painting. He was a highly respected landscape and still life painter in Boston in the early 1900s. His prominence faded after his death, but the quality of his work has recently been gaining increasing recognition. Noyes exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C.. He was a member of several Art associations, including the North Shore Art Association, the Boston Art Society, and the Guild of Boston Artists. In 1901, Noyes taught during the summer in Annisquam, Massachusetts, and became an early teacher to Newell Convers Wyeth, father of Andrew Wyeth and grandfather to Jamie Wyeth. N.C Wyeth also studied with Noyes in 1921, saying "His color knowledge is superb and I think he will give me much help at this juncture". He primarily worked and painted at the Fenway Studios on 30 Ipswich Street in Boston. Other prominent Boston artists working at the Fenway Studios in that period include Marion B. Allen, Lilla Cabot Perry, Joseph Decamp, Philip Hale, Lillian Wescot Hale, Charles...
