Poetry Of Nature: Hudson River School Landscapes from the New-York Historical Society
On view through May 2, 2021
Vero Beach Museum of Art
Vero Beach, Florida
The Hudson River School rose to eminence in New York during the first half of the 19th century. This loosely knit group of artists, together with like-minded poets and writers, forged a self-consciously “American” landscape vision and literary voice.
This exhibition is comprised of 40 paintings by 25 artists ranging in date from 1818 to 1886. Viewers are treated to a varied survey of important paintings conceived in the style of the Hudson River School depicting the varied scenery along its banks, among them the Catskills, Adirondack and White Mountains that provided the subject for their landscape masterpieces.
