Frederick Simpson Coburn

Frederick Simpson Coburn, painter, illustrator (b at Upper Melbourne, Qué 18 Mar 1871; d there 25 May 1960). Coburn is known primarily as a painter of winter scenes of horses and sleighs emerging from a forest into a clearing, the majority executed after about 1916 in the Eastern Townships of Québec. From about 1890 until 1916, Coburn resided in Europe, where he enjoyed a lucrative career as an illustrator, his reputation having been established in 1897 with the highly successful illustrated publication of The Habitant by the Canadian poet W.H. DRUMMOND. In addition to 4 other volumes of Drummond's poetry, Coburn illustrated literature by such well-known authors as Louis-Honoré Fréchette, Washington Irving, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Robert Browning. His later oils and etchings are bathed in a bright Canadian winter light in contrast to the heavy, sombre palette of his illustrations, which betray a European influence.

I found some art he did online. Inluding illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe.

Can you name the stories from the artwork below?

And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?

I have no idea about this one.

This is called Death in a Pear Tree from 1914

he did a lot of illustrations of Poe, including poems.

Edited to say this illustration has the same feel as Michael Connolly's profile picture. the water, the setting, the gigantic scale.
