BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 14:21, 25 December 2020 (UTC) Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would paint together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the painters' jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute, at which, despite Redfield's fierce opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview, 19 years after Schofield's death, that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the reason for their 40-year feud. Schofield may have painted it in England, but the blindsided Redfield knew that this was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard! |
