Bricher’s subtle and serene style classifies him as the premier painter of light-enshrined landscapes and seascapes. Ranked among such notable luminists as Martin Johnson Heade and John Frederick Kensett, Bricher is especially known for his coastal scenes painted in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Long Island between 1870 and 1890. Bricher exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Boston Athenaeum, the Brooklyn Art Association, and the Boston Art Club. Today, his paintings can be seen at The White House, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection in Madrid.
