Artist Henry J. Breuer - Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Henry Breuer earned a reputation as a well-known "painter of poetic landscapes." (Hughes 145)  He studied art during the 1870s in Buffalo, New York, and then worked as a designer-decorator for the Rockwood Pottery Company in Cincinnati where he also attended the Art Academy.  He worked for five years as a lithographer in New York City.  In 1888, he settled in San Francisco where he became art editor for the San Francisco Chronicle and Californian magazine.  Then he went to France for art study and was influenced by the Barbizon School of impressionist painters of rural landscapes.

The Mission Canyon piece is a beautiful example of his work while living in California.
