It is situated at over 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) elevation, and is 4 1/2 miles (7 km) long. It lies 2 mi. (3 km) south of the resort town of Stanley. This view looking southwest shows the mountain mass of the Grand Mogul, rising to 9,733 feet (2,967 meters). The lake was named for the reddish sockeye salmon, an anadromous species that formerly spawned here, but dams on the Columbia River system now largely prevent sockeyes from reaching the lake. Today it is home to trout, including rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout; and to kokanee salmon and Chinook salmon, among other species. Tourist amenities include campsites and hiking trails maintained by the U.S. Forest Service.Josua von Gietl: Streamscape in SpringDark Hedges near Armoy, Co. Antrim, N.

Čiurlionis was born in a village in southern Lithuania that was then in the Russian Empire. Like many Lithuanians of the era his mother tongue was Polish; he learned Lithuanian in his 30s. Čiurlionis studied music in Warsaw and Leipzig, and painting under symbolist painter Kazimierz Stabrowski. He was considered one of the pioneers of abstract art. This 1904 example is titled Bridges.Walter Moras (1856-1925) was a German landscape artist who painted in rural Brandenburg, Mecklenburg and on Rügen island. He was a member of the Verein Berliner Künstler (Union of Berlin Artists), an association whose members included some Impressionists. Moras also worked in Norway, the Netherlands and Italy. Some of his moody scenes, such as this 1888 Märkisches Dorf ("Village of the Mark Brandenburg"), show Impressionistic influences.

Arnold Lyongrün (1871–1935), was a German practitioner of the Jugendstil or Art Nouveau style of decorative arts and an Impressionistic painter. Born in Domnau, East Prussia, some 40 km. (25 mi.) southeast of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia), Lyongrün studied in Königsberg, Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland), and Paris. His works were exhibited in Hamburg in 1911 and 1919. During World War I he was drafted into the German Army and served in France. After the war he became a member of a seaside artists' colony at Ahrenshoop on the Darss Peninsula, where he painted this 1921 Evening on the Baltic Sea. Lyongrün died in northern Germany in 1935, aged 64.Lovis Corinth (1858-1925 ) was a German artist whose mature work is said to have achieved a synthesis of Impressionism and Expressionism. Corinth, who hailed from Tapiau in East Prussia, was among German painters who frequented an artists' colony in Nidden, East Prussia (now Nida, Lithuania), on the Curonian Spit, or Kurische Nehrung, early in the 20th century. He studied in Paris and Munich, and joined the Berlin Secession group, later succeeding Max Liebermann as president. This Walchensee Panorama, depicting a lake in the Bavarian Alps, was painted in 1924. Corinth died in June 1925, aged 66, while on a visit to Amsterdam. He was buried in Berlin, where his grave was designated an Ehrengrab, or "Grave of Honor." But during the Third Reich, Corinth's work was blacklisted by the Nazis as "degenerate art" ("entartete Kunst").Hermine Overbeck-Rohte (1869-1937) was an Impressionistic painter, and the wife of artist Fritz Overbeck. As a schoolgirl she yearned to become an artist, but trained as a nurse due to family objections. However, she later studied with landscape painter Paul Koken and others, becoming a member of an artists' colony in Worpswede. After her husband's death in 1909, she strove to preserve his oeuvré, and continued to paint. This charming Trocknende Wäsche ("Drying Laundry") dates from 1896.Isaac Levitan (1860-1900) was a Russian painter who advanced the genre of the "mood landscape." Born in Augustów, he entered art school in Moscow at only 13. Among his teachers was Alexei Savrasov, who taught students to paint en plein air. Levitan's Golden Autuman (above) dates from 1895. From 1897 he headed the landscape studio at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. Levitan, suffering from heart disease, died in June 1900, aged only 39.Eugène Jansson (1862-1915) was a Swedish Post-Impressionistic painter known for nighttime land- and cityscapes dominated by shades of blue. This Sunrise over the Rooftops dates from 1903. At age 14, Jansson contracted but survived scarlet fever. In the 1880s he studied art at a private school in Stockholm, and also under Swedish painter Edvard Perséus. Subsequently he was influenced by the work of the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. Jansson, weakened from scarlet fever, died after a fall in 1915, aged 53.Viggo Johansen (1851-1935) was a Danish painter and a member of the group of Skagen Painters. Johansen studied painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He exhibited in Paris, where he admired the works of Claude Monet. However, much of Johansen's oeuvre was characterized by subdued lighting, as in this 1891 Glade Jul ("Merry Christmas"). From 1885, he was a member of the Arts Academy in Stockholm, and taught at the Academy's School for Women. Johansen died in 1935, aged 83.Paul Müller-Kaempff (1861–1941) was a landscape artist associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. Born in Oldenburg in northwestern Germany, he studied at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, the Academy of Karlsruhe and the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin. He later lived in Hamburg, where he and his wife, Else, were founders of the Oldenburg Art Society. In 1889 he and fellow artist Oskar Frenzel discovered the quaint fishing village of Ahrenshoop on the Darss Peninsula by the Baltic, where he sojourned and helped to establish an artists' colony. This Winter, Darss Peninsula dates from about 1898. Müller-Kaempff died in 1941, aged 80, in Berlin.Lilla Cabot Perry (1848-1933) was an American Impressionist artist who was inspired by the works of Claude Monet. This painting, A Snowy Monday, dates from 1920. Perry was born to a prominent Boston family whose friends included Emerson and Louisa May Alcott. She began to study art only in her late 30s. Eventually she sojourned in in Giverny, where Monet lived, and formed a working friendship with the famed French artist. Perry returned to Boston in 1889. She exhibited there and also in Paris with the Beaux-Arts impressionists. Perry died in 1933, aged 85.The Christmas truce of 1914 was a series of informal ceasefires in which German, British and French soldiers mingled between the front-line trenches of World War I, notably in northern Belgium. On Christmas Eve the soldiers – charmed by the singing of Christmas carols in several languages and by displays of small Christmas trees atop the ramparts – gradually ventured unarmed into no man's land and began exchanging holiday greetings, drinks, tobacco products and food items. Such consorting – ultimately involving an estimated 100,000 soldiers – went on into Christmas Day and beyond, but remained unreported until December 31, when The New York Times broke an unofficial press embargo with a story describing it. This somewhat fanciful artist's conception, depicting a German officer photographing a mixed group of Allied troops, was published on January 9, 1915, in The Illustrated London News.Swedish artist Nils Kreuger (1858–1930) is remembered for his moody, evocative landscapes. This painting, Autumn, Varberg, dates from 1888. Kueger began his training at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, Stockholm, in 1874, and later studied at the private painting school of fellow Swede Edvard Perséus. In 1881, he studied at the Académie Colarossi, Paris. He returned to Sweden in 1887, settling in the seaside artists' colony at Varberg in southeastern Sweden. Krueger's mature style – said to have been influenced by the works of Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin – is seen as a reaction to the realistic style of landscape painting that prevailed in the late 19th century.French artist Claude Monet' (1840-1926) was a founder and history’s most prolific practitioner of Impressionism, especially as applied to plein air landscape painting. This Train in the Snow dates from 1875. Born in Le Havre, he studied at the Académie Suisse, Paris, and was a classmate and longtime friend of Renoir. In 1871, Monet moved to the Paris suburb of Argenteuil, where he exhibited with the Beaux-Arts impressionists. He transferred in 1883 to Giverny, northwest of Paris, where he grew prosperous and influenced many other artists. However, in the early 20th century Monet's sight deteriorated. He underwent cataract surgery in 1923, with mixed results. Claude Monet died of lung cancer in 1926 at the age of 86 in Giverny.Alexei Savrasov (1830-1897) was a Russian landscape painter and creator of the "lyrical landscape" style, which typically evoked moods engendered by changing seasons. In 1850, Savrasov graduated from the Moscow School of Painting. He became a professor there in 1857, and his students included Isaac Levitan, creator of the "mood landscape." The above Winter ("Зима") by Savrasov dates from the 1870s. Unfortunately, after the death of his daughter in 1871, Savrasov gradually became an alcoholic and lapsed slowly into decline and poverty. Alexei Savrasov died in 1897 in Moscow, aged 67.</Isaac Levitan (1860-1900) was a Russian painter who advanced the genre of the "mood landscape." Born in Augustów, he entered art school in Moscow at only 13. Among his teachers was Alexei Savrasov, who taught students to paint en plein air. Levitan's March (above) dates from 1895. From 1897 he headed the landscape studio at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. Levitan, suffering from heart disease, died in June 1900, aged only 39.Starry Night Over the Rhône (French: Nuit étoilée), is one of is one of the paintings executed by Vincent van GoghinArles, in southern France, at night. It was painted in 1888 by the Rhône River near the house van Gogh began renting early that year, and was first exhibited in 1889 at the annual exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants (Society of Independent Artists) in Paris. The eastward-looking view chosen by van Gogh enabled him to capture reflections of Arles' gas lighting across the shimmering water of the river. In Arles, to which van Gogh moved in February 1888 from Paris, he completed 200 paintings, many of which were to become famous after his death in 1890.
