George Henry Durrie was a Connecticut artist who is best known for his landscapes and winter farmyard scenes. His paintings were popularized by the firm of Currier & Ives, which published 10 prints—mostly winter scenes—between 1861 and 1867. These idealized depictions of New England farms resonated with Northerners nostalgic for the rural lifestyle being transformed by industrialization.
