Sunlight and Shadow: The Newbury Marshes by Martin Johnson Heade https://www.nga.gov/artworks/126145-sunlight-and-shadow-newbury-marshes
The first pictures of marshlands by Martin Johnson Heade featured the environs of Newbury and Newburyport, Massachusetts, near the mouth of the Merrimack River. Perhaps attracted by John Greenleaf Whittier’s poetry that celebrated the local landscape or more likely drawn there by his acquaintance with Bishop Thomas March Clark of Newburyport, Heade discovered the area sometime around 1859.
