Hudson River School: Nature and the American Vision May 19, 2011

This exhibition provides the unique opportunity to see forty-five nineteenth-century landscape paintings from the New-York Historical Society. The exhibition follows a Grand Tour, originating with classic views of the Catskill Mountains before moving farther afield with paintings of the Adirondacks and White Mountains of New Hampshire. The final rooms of the exhibition feature a medley of paintings of remarkable scenes of the Ecuadorian Andes, the grand panoramas of the American West and the Arcadian visions of Italy.
