Identity Theft centers around what is perhaps the Mint Museum’s most important Hudson River School painting, Sanford Robinson Gifford’s Indian Summer in the White Mountains, which was for many years attributed to Jasper Francis Cropsey and titled Mount Washington from Lake Sebago, Maine.  Although long questioned by Gifford scholar Ila Weiss, Indian Summer in the White Mountains remained attributed to Cropsey based on the apparently original signature and date in the lower left corner of the painting.  Recent conservation work revealed a Gifford signature and a new date beneath Cropsey’s –a find that presents the Museum with a unique opportunity to share with our visitors a number of fascinating professional and art historical issues.
