And yet his long life was not enough—with each decade he believed his communion with nature grew and his art took on greater spirituality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis landscapes are beloved for the fine skill they required in composition, color, and line, as well as their more intangible qualities: the distillation of nature in a precise moment.
