Born in the Hudson Valley, Bristol was best known for his landscape painting. Although primarily self-taught he became an accomplished painter with a wonderful luminist quality to his work as seen in this landscape painting. As a National Academy artist Bristol participated in exposition both here and abroad winning several prizes and medals for his work.
