His favorite subjects were the beaches and headlands of the New England coast, and he excelled at depicting such scenes in calm weather and lit by serene, luminous skies. At his best, as in the radiant \u003cem\u003eA Quiet Day near Manchester\u003c\/em\u003e, he was capable of equaling the finest work of fellow marine painters John Frederick Kensett, Sanford Robinson Gifford, and Martin Johnson Heade. \u003cem\u003eA Quiet Day near Manchester\u003c\/em\u003e, 1873, depicts a scene on the Massachusetts coast north of Boston and seems to have been particularly inspired by Kensett, who had died unexpectedly the year before. The mass of meticulously delineated rocks at the left side of the composition and the expansive sweep of sea and sky bring to mind works such as Kensett's late \u003cem\u003eBeach near Beverly\u003c\/em\u003e, also in the Gallery's collection. Although Bricher painted many pictures over the course of his long career (he continued working until his death in 1908), the superb \u003cem\u003eA Quiet Day near Manchester\u003c\/em\u003e is unsurpassed.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nga.gov\/artworks\/140908-quiet-day-near-manchester\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art Washington DC - a quiet day near manchester\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alfred Thompson Bricher","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49278924259571,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (20\" x 38 1\/4\")","offer_id":49278924292339,"sku":null,"price":1262.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (12 7\/8\" x 24 3\/4\")","offer_id":49278924325107,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (15 7\/8\" x 30 1\/4\")","offer_id":49278924357875,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (19 3\/8\" x 37 1\/8\")","offer_id":49278924390643,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (25\" x 47 7\/8\")","offer_id":49278924423411,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (30\" x 57 1\/2\")","offer_id":49278924456179,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (35 3\/8\" x 67 3\/4\")\/","offer_id":49278924488947,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (42 1\/2\" x 81 1\/4\")","offer_id":49278924521715,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/AlfredThompsonBricher-a_quiet_day_near_manchester-product.jpg?v=1781850233","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/a-quiet-day-near-manchester","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
