The type was unquestionably popular with patrons. Kensett repeated it with only nominal variations until his death in 1872 and the numbers of such views, relative to his total output, only increased through the Civil War years. For the artist's clients, the simple arrangement of rocks at either side against the apparent infinitude of an ocean horizon must have appealed in tumultuous times to yearnings for stability, certitude, peace, and the eternal. For Kensett, outdoors and in his studio, the control of the simple setting supplied a tabula rasa for articulating shifting complexions of light and atmosphere.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/11316\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Newport Rocks\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Frederick Kensett","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887845941491,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (31\" x 48\")","offer_id":49887845974259,"sku":null,"price":2381.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (14 3\/8\" x 22 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887846007027,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (17 5\/8\" x 27 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887846039795,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (21 5\/8\" x 33 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887846072563,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (27 7\/8\" x 43 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887846105331,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (33 3\/8\" x 51 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887846138099,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (39 3\/8\" x 60 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887846170867,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (47 1\/4\" x 73 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887846203635,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/NewportRocks.jpg?v=1789760513","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/newport-rocks","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
