Autumn Printable Paintings for Your Dollhouse

        Decorate your dollhouse this season with lovely landscape prints. These autumnal scenes were painted by George Inness "The Spirit of Autumn" and John Joseph Enneking "Call of the Wild"

George Inness "The Spirit of Autumn"

       One of the most influential American artists of the nineteenth century, Inness was influenced, in turn, by the Old Masters, the Hudson River school, the Barbizon school, and, finally, the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, whose spiritualism found vivid expression in the work of Inness's maturity (1879–1894). See more of his work here.

John Joseph Enneking "Call of the Wild"

       Enneking died at Boston in 1916. Shortly after his death, memorial exhibitions of his work were held at the Boston Art Club and in Portland, Maine. These were followed a decade later by two exhibitions at the Vose Galleries of Boston in 1922 and 1926. His family placed the bulk of his work in storage in an old warehouse in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. After the death of his wife Mary Katharine Elliott Enneking (November 2, 1844 — October 23 1923), the paintings were forgotten. The paintings were rediscovered in the late 1950s as the warehouse was being torn down. The Vose Galleries in Boston were again involved in promoting his work, and in 1972, in the publication of Enneking's biography. See more paintings by J. Enneking here.
