Warm afternoon light falls across a live-oak hammock on a barrier island off the northeast Florida coast. Thomas Moran — best known for the vast canvases that helped create the national-parks movement — brings the same attentive eye for atmosphere to this intimate landscape, painting the lush subtropical growth with fine, dappled brushwork.
