In 1862, Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait painted A Good Time Coming, a composition of the painter’s own fishing and shooting shanty on Constable Point in Raquette Lake. The now iconic painting was reproduced as a colored chromolithograph by the printmaker Currier & Ives and has since captured the imagination of generations of sporting enthusiasts and artists. The painting remains a highlight of the Adirondack Experience’s art collection. Join Claudia Pfeiffer as she examines works by Tait and other sporting painters from the 19th to the 20th centuries in the Adirondack Experience’s collection. Artists such as Frederic Sackrider Remington, Philip Russell Goodwin, and Frederick Rondel captured the scenic landscape, abundant sport, and an American pastime that still resonates with hunters and anglers today.
