The Poetry of Nature: Hudson River School Landscapes from the New York Historical Society
Published on April 1, 2022
A stunning array of over 40 paintings created between 1818 and 1886, The Poetry of Nature illustrates America’s scenic splendor as seen through the eyes of over 25 leading Hudson River School artists, including Cole, Durand, Kensett, Bierstadt, as well as lesser-known but important artists Josephine Walters, Christopher Pearse Cranch, and Louisa Davis Minot, among others. Its display at the NBMAA will include the addition of works by Robert S. Duncanson, the first Black artist of the Hudson River School to gain international acclaim. Drawn from the collection of the New-York Historical Society, the exhibition explores the exchange of influence among this group of artists, their favored sketching grounds, and the legacy of Hudson River School painting today.
The exhibition runs from Jan 28 - May 22, 2022 at the New Britain Museum of American Art, 56 Lexington St, New Britain, CT 06052.
