Although born on Staten Island, Belmore Browne is most associated with Alaska and Western Canada. His early life as a specimen collector for the American Museum of Natural History ensured his reputation among hunters. His three pioneering attempts at climbing Mt. McKinley in 1906, 1910, and 1912 and his near success in his last attempt -- stormed off 125 feet from the summit -- secure his inclusion in the history of mountaineering. Belmore Browne is, however, best known as an artist. He studied at the New York School of Art and at the Academie Julian in Paris. He was elected an Associate National Academician in 1928. Known primarily for his superior mountain landscapes in the Banff area, where he made his home between the world wars, Browne also did wonderful animal paintings and a few Alaskan paintings. Braarud Fine Art is interested in all works by Belmore Browne, including illustrations. |
