This painting is of the famous fountain on Broadway and Third in Madison, Indiana. It is very famous. It was presented to the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876 by the Republic of France. Later the Indiana Order of Odd Fellows bought it and gave it to the city of Madison, Indiana.
I’ve always loved seeing it during the fall when the trees have changed colors. There is a gorgeous church nearby which makes a dramatic background.
The painting has been at the Madison Table Works Gallery and was recently purchased there. I’m always very happy to have my paintings go to a good home.
