William Merritt Post (1856-1935) American, Watercolor. New England autumn landscape with stream running through. Fine original frame. Signed in the lower left W. Merritt Post. William Post is known for Landscape-streamside and harbor view painting, drawing. Post was the son of a commodities merchant. His parents separated after sixteen years of marriage and four children, suggesting a troubled home life. Post's attraction to nature began in the fall of 1879, when an excursion from Brooklyn to a marshy region made Post think, "If I were an artist, this region would be one of the first places I would strike out for." Unlike many artists of the day who studied in Paris, Germany and Holland, Post developed his eye for composition, his technical knowledge of the craft of painting and his deft draftsmanship in the artistic community of New York.
