Portrait of Pavel Petrovich Svinin|Thomas Birch

Pavel Petrovich Svinin|Thomas Birch is an American Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Pavel Petrovich Svinin painted early 19th-century American landscapes in watercolor and gouache. He captured the Schuylkill River’s rushing waters under a sturdy bridge in *The Falls of the Schuylkill and Chain Bridge* (1811–ca. 1813), a slice of nature before Philadelphia’s growth changed the view. If bridges and rivers grab you, tap into Svinin’s scene and look for the boats and rocks along the water’s edge.
