A framed painting by Alfred Bricher entitled "Castle Rock".

Alfred Thompson Bricher (April 10, 1837 to September 30, 1908) was a painter associated with White Mountain art and the Hudson River School. When not working as a businessman, he studied at the Lowell Institute. He also studied with Albert Bierstadt, William Morris Hunt, and others. Over time his artwork garnered more attention and by the 1980s he began to be credited as one of the nineteenth century's greatest maritime painters. A self-taught luminist, he explored the effects of light and how it reflected, refracted, and absorbed on landscapes and seascapes.
