Sunday, June 10, 2007 - The Hudson River School was the first school of American landscape painters, including Thomas Cole and his followers. Inspired by the compelling beauty and romance of the Hudson River Valley, these artists portrayed it and other wilderness areas with an almost mystical reverence. The program features more than 200 paintings and prints of the period and juxtaposes dramatic location photography of the Hudson River area, many of which are featured in the outstanding works by Cole, Asher Durand, Fredric Church, Albert Bierstadt, Gifford and George Innes. 57 minutes. Free with museum admission.
