signed and dated "Chas Morris Young" lower right
oil on canvas, 29 1/4 by 40 in.
Edward T. Stotesbury P.A.F.A. Prize, 1925
Charles Morris Young’s enduring legacy is for fox hunting scenes in the Pennsylvania countryside. Born in Gettysburg in 1869, Young saved for years to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia (PAFA), where he enrolled in 1891. During his time there, he was awarded the Charles Toppan Prize for the most promising student. In 1897 Young traveled to Paris for further training, at the Academie Colarossie and through studio visits. He married fellow artist Eliza Coxe in 1903, spent two summers at Giverny, and returned to live in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, in 1905.
Beloved for his Impressionist landscape compositions often featuring wintry sporting scenes, Young moved to Radnor, on the Main Line. He was a member of the National Academy of Design in New York, where he exhibited regularly until the 1950s. He won at least five awards at major exhibitions throughout the early 1900s, and showed at the Boston Art Club and the Art Institute of Chicago, among other important venues.
In 1925, Young exhibited this painting at PAFA and won the Stotesbury Award. “This award was established by Edward T. Stotesbury, a member of the board of directors. It was given to the artist whose painting, or group of paintings, was, in the opinion of the jury, the most important contribution to the exhibition,” PAFA notes. Consequently, a photograph of the work is in the archive, along with several original paintings by Young in the permanent collection, including “Fox Hunters at White Horse.” Tragically, a good portion of Young's paintings, brought together from private collectors for a biographical film, burned in a house fire towards the end of his life.
“On Darby Creek” is a masterwork of sporting art by this important regional art specialist. The Darby Creek watershed flows through Radnor and into the Delaware River. It is a much-loved freshwater artery. Young’s vigorous brushstrokes capture the light and shadow on the snowy ground, and the red coat of the hunter reflects in the creek. The quintessential architecture of the house and stone bridge further capture the essence of the landscape.
