John Henry Hill (1839-1922)
On A Study of Trap Rock (Buttermilk Falls), "... the most elaborately literal study from nature I ever made."
A West Nyack native, John Henry Hill was an accomplished artist, primarily in landscape paintings and drawings. Starting his art career at a young age, Hill would go on to practice his skill abroad, before returning to West Nyack in 1879, where he resided in his home on the Hill family’s original property on West Nyack Road. Some of his works can be found in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
