Happy Birthday Martin J Heade!! Also from Pennsylvania, born in 1819, Heade was a landscape painter concentrating mostly on scenes from New Jersey. His favored settings were early morning, evening or an impending storm. He was gifted at depicting the dusky, almost eery, light relevant to his scenes. Storm Approaching Narragansett Bay is a great example of his skill at creating the ominous feel of an oncoming storm.
