Louis Remy Mignot painted the volcanoes of the Andes and the snow of a northern winter with the same attention, and that range is what makes his landscapes worth working in counted cross stitch.
He was an American painter, born in 1831 and died in 1870, and he came from French Catholic stock in the South. That background set him a little apart from the other Hudson River School landscape painters he is grouped with. Years spent in Europe pushed him further from the group's usual habits, particularly in the way he handled vegetation and the air itself. His travels in South America gave him subjects few of his contemporaries had seen firsthand, and views near Cotopaxi and scenes from Ecuador sit in his work alongside plain winter landscapes from home.
Other nineteenth-century painters: Regis Francois Gignoux, Antal Ligeti, Jacob Jan Coenraad Spohler, and Walter Moras.
If it is the painting itself you love rather than the stitching, Louis Remy Mignot art prints are easy to find.
