In the 1990’s while studying American art, I became quite taken by the work of a group of 19th-century artists who collectively came to be known as the Hudson River School, particularly later artists of the period Frederick Church, Sandford Gifford, and Thomas Moran. Their work is a reverent celebration of the wonders of the natural world while keenly aware of man’s encroachment. With masterful technical skill, they created awe-inspiring, meditative images that years after their completion remain worthy of study and contemplation. Their work was the foundation of American landscape painting. Fortunately for those artists quite inspirational natural scenery was readily available to them.
