评论: Widely regarded as the leader of the White Mountain School during the 1840s, he appears to have assimilated art vision and techniques from A. B. Durand and Thomas Cole, as well as from contacts made during a c.1837-40 trip to France, England, Switzerland, and Italy. Upon his return in 1840, he set up his studio in Boston, from which he launched on many trips to New Hampshire"s Lake District and its White Mountains. Gerry also made two return trips to Italy, in 1850-54 and 1873-75.
